Transition SGETF1017-110 1000BT SC 1000BLX Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition SGETF1017-110 is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper and fiber optic networks. It enables the conversion of standard 1000Base-T Ethernet signals, transmitted over RJ-45 copper cabling, into 1000Base-LX fiber optic signals. This allows for the extension of Gigabit Ethernet networks over significantly longer distances than is possible with copper alone, making it ideal for connecting buildings, campuses, or extending network infrastructure within large facilities. This specific model is configured for long-reach applications, utilizing single-mode fiber optic cable and an SC connector. It supports 1000Base-LX, which operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm, and can achieve transmission distances of up to 10 kilometers. This makes it suitable for metropolitan area networks (MANs) or other scenarios requiring extensive fiber optic links. The converter features a 1000Base-T port that supports auto-negotiation for speed and duplex settings, ensuring seamless integration with existing copper network infrastructure. The fiber optic port operates in full-duplex mode, maximizing throughput and performance. The SGETF1017-110 is typically a standalone unit, designed for easy plug-and-play installation, and is often used in conjunction with other media converters or network switches to build robust and extended network architectures.
