Transition Networks SGFEB1040-130 Transceiver/Media Converter

Product Description

The SGFEB1040-130 represents a modular approach to network connectivity, functioning as both a transceiver and a media converter. This type of device is typically installed in a rack-mountable chassis that houses multiple modules, allowing for flexible and scalable network configurations. The primary role of this module is to bridge different network media, most commonly converting signals between copper Ethernet (like 10/100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T) and various fiber optic standards (such as 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX/LX). As a transceiver, it likely supports specific optical transceivers (SFPs, GBICs, etc.) that dictate the fiber type (multimode or single-mode), wavelength, and transmission distance. As a media converter, it translates the electrical signals from the copper interface to the optical signals required by the transceiver, and vice versa. This enables network administrators to extend network reach, connect geographically separated network segments, or enhance network security by utilizing fiber optics. Modules like the SGFEB1040-130 are often hot-swappable, meaning they can be installed or removed without powering down the entire chassis or network. This feature is crucial for maintaining network uptime during upgrades or maintenance. The specific technical details, such as supported speeds, fiber types, connectors, and maximum distances, would depend on the exact model and the type of transceiver it accommodates. It's a component designed for building robust and adaptable network infrastructures.
