Transition MIL-C6113LX-5NA MIL-C6000 GB Standalone SC Media Converter

Product Description

The MIL-C6113LX-5NA is a robust Gigabit Ethernet media converter from Transition Networks, engineered to operate reliably in demanding and harsh environmental conditions, often specified for military, industrial, or transportation sectors. This standalone device performs the critical function of converting 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet signals from copper twisted-pair cabling to 1000Base-LX Gigabit Ethernet signals for transmission over fiber optic cable, employing SC connectors for the fiber connection. The 'MIL-C6000' designation indicates that the converter adheres to stringent military and industrial standards for environmental resilience, including resistance to extreme temperatures, vibration, shock, and potential exposure to dust or moisture. The 1000Base-LX standard is designed for longer-reach fiber optic communication, typically supporting distances up to 550 meters over multimode fiber and considerably further over single-mode fiber, making it suitable for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks across large campuses or challenging terrains. By converting electrical signals to optical signals, the MIL-C6113LX-5NA offers inherent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring data integrity in electrically noisy environments. Its standalone configuration allows for easy integration into existing network infrastructure wherever a media conversion point is required. This converter is a key component for extending high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in applications where standard networking hardware is insufficient.
