Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-05(XLHT) Transceiver/Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-05(XLHT) is a robust media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet networks and fiber optic infrastructure. It facilitates the extension of network distances and enhances immunity to electromagnetic interference by converting signals from a standard 10/100Base-TX twisted-pair copper connection to a 100Base-FX fiber optic signal. This capability is essential for deploying networks in environments where standard Ethernet cable lengths are insufficient or where electrical noise is a concern. This particular model features an SC connector for its multimode fiber port, allowing for connections over distances typically up to 2 kilometers, depending on the fiber type and quality. The inclusion of an extended temperature range rating, from -40°C to +75°C, makes it suitable for deployment in harsh industrial settings, outdoor enclosures, or other environments with extreme temperature fluctuations. The copper port supports auto-negotiation, simplifying setup by automatically determining the optimal speed and duplex mode with the connected device. As a standalone unit, the E-100BTX-FX-05(XLHT) can be powered by an external adapter and placed on a desktop or mounted in various locations. It can also be integrated into Transition Networks' modular chassis systems for centralized power and management in larger deployments. Comprehensive LED indicators provide at-a-glance status information for both the copper and fiber connections, aiding in troubleshooting and network monitoring. This media converter is a reliable solution for extending network reach in industrial automation, transportation, and utility applications.
