Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-05(SCHT)-LA Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS E-100BTX-FX-05(SCHT)-LA is a 100Mbps copper-to-fiber media converter designed for high-temperature operating environments. It converts standard 100BASE-TX copper Ethernet signals to 100BASE-FX fiber optic signals, allowing network segments to bridge copper and fiber infrastructure. This type of converter is typically installed by network technicians and low-voltage systems integrators in applications where standard commercial-grade hardware cannot tolerate elevated ambient temperatures. The high-temperature rating makes it suitable for industrial enclosures, outdoor cabinets, and other thermally demanding environments.

This media converter is suited for enterprise and industrial network deployments where copper and fiber segments must interconnect reliably under demanding thermal conditions. It fits scenarios such as factory floors, outdoor network cabinets, transportation infrastructure, and building automation backbones where standard operating temperature ranges are insufficient. The unit is sold individually and falls within the enterprise PoE device category per supplier classification.

Key Features

• Converts 100BASE-TX copper to 100BASE-FX fiber at 100Mbps full-duplex
• High-temperature rated for use in thermally demanding industrial and outdoor enclosures
• Standalone form factor sold as a single unit
• Enterprise-class media conversion suitable for structured cabling and backbone applications
• Extends fiber reach beyond copper distance limitations in mixed-media networks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit media converter for 100Mbps copper-to-fiber network conversion applications requiring high-temperature tolerance in enterprise or industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network engineer. Power down or disconnect the network segment before installing or replacing the converter to avoid data disruption. Follow applicable local electrical codes and the NEC for low-voltage cabling and enclosure requirements. Do not install in enclosures that exceed the rated operating temperature range of the unit.
