Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-06(SMLC)-SA Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS E-100BTX-FX-06(SMLC)-SA is a 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX media converter that bridges copper Ethernet and fiber optic network segments. It accepts a standard RJ-45 copper input running at 100 Mbps and converts the signal for transmission over singlemode fiber optic cable. This type of converter is used to extend network reach beyond the distance limits of copper cabling and to interconnect equipment with different physical-layer interfaces. Installation is typically handled by network technicians or low-voltage contractors working on structured cabling and enterprise LAN infrastructure.

This media converter is suited for enterprise and commercial network environments where copper-to-fiber transition is required at the edge or between network segments. The singlemode fiber interface allows for longer transmission distances compared to multimode solutions, making it appropriate for inter-building or campus-wide deployments. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for use wherever a 100BASE-TX copper port must interface with a 100BASE-FX singlemode fiber link.

Key Features

• Converts 100BASE-TX copper RJ-45 to 100BASE-FX singlemode fiber
• Supports 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet signal conversion
• Singlemode fiber interface for extended transmission distances
• Sold as a single unit (each)
• Classified as an enterprise PoE-category network device

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for enterprise network environments requiring 100BASE-TX copper to 100BASE-FX singlemode fiber signal conversion at Fast Ethernet speeds.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network infrastructure professionals. Power down or disconnect the connected network equipment before making physical-layer changes to avoid signal disruption. Follow applicable structured cabling standards and local low-voltage codes when routing fiber and copper cabling. Handle fiber connectors and terminations with appropriate tools to avoid damage to the optical interface.
