Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-06(SFP)-NA Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS E-100BTX-FX-06(SFP)-NA is a Fast Ethernet media converter that bridges 100BASE-TX copper infrastructure to 100BASE-FX fiber using an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber port. It accepts a standard RJ-45 copper connection on the TX side and an SFP module on the fiber side, allowing network technicians to extend or segment Ethernet runs beyond the 100-meter copper distance limit. This converter is suited for enterprise and industrial network deployments where copper-to-fiber conversion is required at the edge or within a wiring closet. Installation and configuration are typically handled by a licensed network technician or IT infrastructure professional.

This media converter is designed for enterprise network environments requiring copper-to-fiber media conversion at Fast Ethernet speeds. It fits into structured cabling installations where existing 100BASE-TX copper segments need to connect to fiber backbone runs. The SFP slot provides flexibility in fiber type and distance selection, dependent on the SFP module installed. Typical deployment scenarios include campus networks, data centers, and industrial control environments where fiber isolation or distance extension is required.

Key Features

• Converts 100BASE-TX RJ-45 copper to 100BASE-FX fiber for extended network reach
• SFP-based fiber port allows interchangeable fiber modules for varied distance and wavelength requirements
• Supports Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) full- and half-duplex operation
• Enterprise-class media converter form factor suitable for rack or standalone deployment
• Sold as a single unit (EA), no additional converter included

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style enterprise media converter for 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX copper-to-fiber conversion applications. Fiber type and reach are determined by the SFP module installed; consult the SFP module specifications for distance and wavelength details.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician familiar with structured cabling standards and fiber handling procedures. Power down or disconnect the relevant network segments before installing or swapping the SFP module to prevent damage to the transceiver. Follow TIA-568 or applicable local cabling standards when terminating the RJ-45 copper side. Do not expose the SFP optical port to dust or debris when no module is seated; use the provided dust cap if applicable.
