Transition SBFFG1017-105 GE Media Converter SC 1000BT1000BXRail-60km

Product Description

The Transition SBFFG1017-105 is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet media converter engineered for demanding long-haul network applications. It facilitates the conversion between 1000Base-T copper Ethernet and 1000Base-BX fiber optic interfaces, enabling data transmission at speeds of up to 1 Gbps. This converter is particularly suited for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks over significant distances, leveraging the capabilities of single-strand fiber optic technology. The device features an SC connector for its fiber optic port, a widely adopted standard known for its reliability and ease of use. The 1000Base-BX designation indicates that it operates over a single strand of fiber, utilizing different wavelengths for transmitting and receiving data, which is a key characteristic of BX (Bidirectional) fiber technology. This efficiency in fiber usage can be advantageous in certain deployment scenarios. The maximum transmission distance supported is an impressive 60 kilometers, making it ideal for backbone networks, inter-building connections, or connecting geographically dispersed sites. Designed with a rail-mountable form factor, the SBFFG1017-105 is intended for installation in industrial or network equipment racks, ensuring a secure and organized deployment. Its robust construction and advanced features make it a reliable choice for mission-critical applications where high bandwidth and extended reach are essential. This media converter plays a vital role in modernizing network infrastructure by bridging the gap between copper and long-distance fiber optic communication.
