Transition SISTF1013-111-LRT to SC 100Base-FX Duplex Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition SISTF1013-111-LRT is a robust media converter designed to facilitate seamless connectivity between different network media types. It specifically addresses the need to connect standard Ethernet devices, typically using RJ45 connectors, to fiber optic networks operating at Fast Ethernet speeds (100Mbps). This is particularly useful for extending network reach beyond the limitations of copper cabling (typically 100 meters) by leveraging the greater distances achievable with fiber optics. This model features a 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port with an RJ45 connector for connecting to copper-based network devices or switches. On the fiber side, it utilizes an SC duplex connector, which is standard for multimode fiber connections. The converter supports 100Base-FX, the standard for Fast Ethernet over fiber. It is designed for use with multimode fiber optic cable, allowing for network extensions up to 2 kilometers, making it suitable for campus environments, large buildings, or connecting network segments within a facility. The converter supports both half-duplex and full-duplex operation on the fiber link, configurable to match the requirements of the connected network. It operates at a wavelength typically around 1310nm, common for multimode fiber applications. The 'LRT' designation often implies Long Reach Transmission capabilities within the multimode fiber standard. This device is ideal for network administrators looking to upgrade infrastructure, integrate legacy equipment, or establish reliable, high-speed links over extended distances.
