Transition SBFTF1018-100 100 Bridging MT-RJ 100BFX UTP Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition SBFTF1018-100 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper-based 100Base-TX Ethernet and fiber optic 100Base-FX Ethernet. This model is distinguished by its use of an MT-RJ connector for the fiber optic interface. The converter provides a standard 100Base-TX RJ45 port for connecting to typical Ethernet devices or switches. On the fiber side, it utilizes the MT-RJ connector, a compact, small form-factor connector that integrates two fiber strands into a single connector housing, often used in high-density applications. The 100Base-FX specification indicates operation at 100 Mbps over fiber. Operating with multimode fiber at a 1310nm wavelength, this media converter supports network extensions up to 2 kilometers. It is suitable for applications within buildings or across small campuses where the benefits of fiber optics, such as immunity to electromagnetic interference and enhanced security, are desired for specific network segments. The MT-RJ connector offers a space-saving alternative to traditional SC or ST connectors.
