Transition SISTF1011-160-LRT 100BFX Switch ST 100BFX Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition Networks SISTF1011-160-LRT is a versatile media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks. It allows for the seamless transmission of 100 Mbps Ethernet data over multimode fiber optic cable, extending network distances significantly beyond the limitations of copper cabling. This is particularly useful for connecting devices in separate buildings or across large campuses where standard Ethernet cables are impractical. The converter features a standard 100Base-TX RJ-45 port for connecting to copper Ethernet devices, supporting auto-negotiation for speed and duplex settings. On the fiber side, it utilizes an SC connector for 100Base-FX multimode fiber optic connections, operating at a wavelength of 1310nm. The maximum transmission distance over multimode fiber is rated at 2 kilometers, providing ample reach for many enterprise and industrial applications. Designed for standard operating environments, the SISTF1011-160-LRT is an unhardened unit, meaning it is intended for installation in climate-controlled locations such as telecommunication closets or equipment rooms. It includes comprehensive LED indicators to provide visual feedback on link status, activity, and power, aiding in troubleshooting and network monitoring. The compact form factor and external power adapter make it easy to deploy and integrate into existing network infrastructure.
