Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-06-BR Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS E-100BTX-FX-06-BR is a Fast Ethernet media converter that bridges 100BASE-TX copper network infrastructure to 100BASE-FX fiber optic cabling. It accepts a standard RJ-45 copper input and converts the signal to a fiber optic output, extending network reach beyond the distance limitations of copper Ethernet. This unit is sold individually and is suited for enterprise network environments where technicians need to integrate fiber segments into existing copper-based LAN infrastructure without replacing switches or end devices.

The E-100BTX-FX-06-BR fits into enterprise networking deployments where copper-to-fiber conversion is required at the edge or between wiring closets. It is a practical solution for extending 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet links across longer distances using fiber, particularly in commercial buildings, campuses, or industrial facilities where copper runs would exceed IEEE distance limits. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trade installing this type of device.

Key Features

• Converts 100BASE-TX RJ-45 copper to 100BASE-FX fiber optic signal
• Supports Fast Ethernet at 100 Mbps
• Extends network reach beyond copper distance limitations using fiber
• Sold as a single unit for flexible deployment
• Designed for enterprise network environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for enterprise Fast Ethernet networks requiring 100BASE-TX copper to 100BASE-FX fiber conversion.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or network technician. Power down or disconnect active network ports before connecting or disconnecting fiber and copper cables to avoid link errors. Follow local building codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards when routing fiber and copper runs. Do not bend fiber cable beyond its minimum bend radius during installation.
