Transition MIL-C6113LX-20UNA MILC6000 GB Standalone SC Media Converter

Product Description

The MIL-C6113LX-20UNA is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet media converter from Transition Networks, specifically engineered to meet the demanding requirements of ruggedized and harsh environments, often found in military, industrial, or transportation applications. This standalone unit facilitates the conversion between 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet over copper twisted-pair cabling and 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode or multimode fiber optic cabling, utilizing SC connectors for the fiber interface. The 'MIL-C6000' designation signifies compliance with stringent environmental and performance standards, ensuring reliable operation under extreme temperatures, vibration, shock, and exposure to contaminants. The 1000Base-LX standard allows for extended transmission distances over fiber optic cable, typically up to 550 meters for multimode fiber and significantly further (e.g., 10 km or more) for single-mode fiber, depending on the specific fiber type and wavelength used. This makes it ideal for connecting network devices across large facilities or in challenging terrains. By converting electrical signals to optical signals, the MIL-C6113LX-20UNA provides inherent immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which is critical in environments with high levels of electrical noise. Its standalone form factor offers flexibility in deployment, allowing it to be placed wherever a media conversion is needed. This converter is essential for extending Gigabit Ethernet connectivity reliably in applications where standard networking equipment would fail.
