Transition SISTF1014-110-LR 100BFX Twisted Pair Fiber Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition SISTF1014-110-LR is a high-performance Fast Ethernet media converter engineered to extend network connectivity over significant distances using single-mode fiber optics. It seamlessly translates signals between a standard 100Base-TX copper Ethernet interface, equipped with an RJ45 connector, and a 100Base-FX fiber optic interface utilizing an SC connector. This allows for the integration of copper-based network devices into a fiber optic backbone or the extension of networks far beyond the limitations of copper cabling. The 'LR' designation in the model number signifies its capability for Long Reach transmission, specifically supporting single-mode fiber (SMF) over distances of up to 110 kilometers. This makes it an ideal solution for connecting geographically dispersed locations, such as between different buildings on a large campus, between cities, or for telecommunications infrastructure. The converter operates at a 100 Mbps data rate, ensuring compatibility with legacy Fast Ethernet networks while providing the benefits of fiber, including immunity to electromagnetic interference and higher security. This unmanaged media converter is designed for plug-and-play operation, simplifying installation and reducing the need for complex configuration. It features auto-negotiation on the RJ45 port for automatic speed and duplex setting, and provides comprehensive LED indicators for monitoring network status, link activity, and power. The device includes an external power adapter for reliable operation.
