Transition SRMFE1029-201-NA SC 100BFX Single UTP/STP Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition Networks SRMFE1029-201-NA is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to extend network reach by converting signals between copper twisted-pair cabling and single-mode fiber optic cabling. This device supports 100Base-TX on its RJ-45 port, allowing connection to standard Ethernet devices, and 100Base-FX on its SC fiber optic port. The use of single-mode fiber enables significantly longer transmission distances compared to multimode fiber, making it suitable for applications requiring connectivity over several kilometers. The converter facilitates the extension of Fast Ethernet networks, overcoming the distance limitations of copper (typically 100 meters). Fiber optic transmission provides immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring a more reliable and stable connection, especially in harsh industrial environments. The SC connector is a widely used, secure connector for fiber optic applications. Operating at the physical layer (Layer 1), the SRMFE1029-201-NA performs a transparent conversion of Ethernet signals. It supports full-duplex operation, allowing for simultaneous data transmission and reception, which is essential for maintaining high throughput. This media converter is a valuable component for network infrastructure projects that need to bridge different cabling types or extend network segments over long distances.
