Transition SBFTF1040-105-NA Networks 1 x RJ-45 100BTX 1 x SFP External

Product Description

The Transition Networks SBFTF1040-105-NA is a versatile Fast Ethernet media converter designed to interconnect copper-based Ethernet segments with fiber optic networks. This model supports 100Base-TX on its RJ-45 copper port, allowing connection to standard Ethernet devices and switches. The key feature is its SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slot, which enables the use of various 100Base-FX SFP transceivers (sold separately). This flexibility allows administrators to choose the appropriate fiber type (multimode or single-mode) and connector (e.g., SC, LC) based on their network requirements and distance needs. Operating at 100 Mbps, this converter is ideal for extending Fast Ethernet networks beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling. Fiber optic transmission offers immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and allows for much longer distances, enhancing network reliability and reach. The 'NA' in the SKU typically indicates that the product comes with a North American power adapter. This media converter facilitates seamless integration between different network media types. It operates at the physical layer, ensuring transparent data transmission. The support for full-duplex operation on both copper and fiber interfaces maximizes bandwidth utilization. The SBFTF1040-105-NA is a practical solution for extending networks in industrial environments, connecting buildings, or upgrading infrastructure where fiber optic connectivity is required.
