Transition SRMFE1029-200 Media Converter SC 100BFX UTP Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition SRMFE1029-200 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper twisted-pair (UTP) and fiber optic networks operating at 100 Mbps. It allows for the seamless integration of legacy copper-based Ethernet segments with fiber optic infrastructure, enabling extended network distances and improved immunity to electromagnetic interference. The converter features a standard RJ45 port for connecting to 100Base-TX Ethernet devices, and a duplex SC fiber optic connector for 100Base-FX connections. The SC connector is a widely adopted, robust connector type for fiber optics. This specific model is designed for multimode fiber (MMF) or single-mode fiber (SMF) applications, depending on the exact variant, typically operating at a 1310nm wavelength. This media converter is ideal for extending networks in environments where electrical noise is a concern or where longer transmission distances are required. Applications include connecting buildings within a campus, extending networks across factory floors, or integrating older equipment into modern networks. It typically requires an external power adapter for operation.
