Transition Networks SBFTF1010-130-OZ Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SBFTF1010-130-OZ is a 10/100Base-TX bridging media converter designed for enterprise network infrastructure. It converts between copper Ethernet and fiber media, allowing network segments using different physical layer technologies to communicate seamlessly. This type of device is commonly installed by network technicians and low-voltage contractors in commercial and enterprise environments where extending network reach or transitioning between cable types is required. The SBFTF1010-130-OZ supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet speeds, making it compatible with a wide range of existing network hardware.

This media converter is suited for enterprise PoE device deployments in commercial buildings, data closets, and structured cabling installations. It is typically used where copper twisted-pair runs must transition to fiber optic cabling to extend distances beyond the standard 100-meter copper limitation or to provide electrical isolation between network segments. It is sold as a single unit and is applicable to both new installations and retrofit network upgrades in enterprise environments.

Key Features

• Supports 10/100Base-TX copper Ethernet input for broad legacy and modern network compatibility
• Bridging media conversion between copper and fiber network segments
• Classified as an enterprise PoE device for commercial network applications
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward deployment or sparing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for enterprise network media conversion applications supporting 10/100Base-TX bridging infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage network technician or licensed electrician familiar with structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect the relevant network switch port before connecting or disconnecting the media converter. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes for fiber and copper termination practices. Do not force fiber connectors and ensure proper bend radius is maintained on all fiber runs.
