Transition UFETF1011-120 UnMultiport 11ST 100BFX UTP Media Converter

Product Description

The Transition UFETF1011-120 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper-based Ethernet networks (100Base-TX) and fiber optic networks (100Base-FX). This device allows for the extension of network distances significantly beyond the 100-meter limit of standard UTP cabling. By converting electrical signals from the copper interface to optical signals for transmission over fiber, it enables robust and interference-free communication over longer spans. The converter features a standard RJ45 connector for the 100Base-TX interface, allowing easy connection to switches, hubs, or network interface cards. The fiber optic side utilizes SC connectors, which are widely adopted for their reliability and ease of use, connecting to multimode fiber optic cable. It operates at a data rate of 100 Mbps, adhering to the IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard, ensuring compatibility with most Fast Ethernet equipment. As a standalone unit, the UFETF1011-120 is powered by an external AC adapter and is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. It includes status LEDs that provide visual feedback on power, link status, and activity for both the copper and fiber interfaces, simplifying network monitoring and troubleshooting. This media converter is an effective solution for network expansion projects requiring the extended reach and enhanced security of fiber optic connectivity.
