Transition Networks SBFTF1013-105-NA Media Converter Sc

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SBFTF1013-105-NA is a standalone media converter that bridges 10/100BASE-TX copper Ethernet to 100BASE-FX fiber optic connections. It accepts a standard RJ45 twisted-pair input and converts the signal to a 100 Mbps fiber output via a 1x9 optical transceiver with an SC-type multimode connector. This unit is designed for network infrastructure installers and IT professionals who need to extend Ethernet segments beyond copper distance limits or integrate fiber runs into existing switched networks.

This converter is suited for both commercial and light industrial network deployments where copper-to-fiber transitions are required at the edge or in the wiring closet. Typical installations include connecting workgroup switches to fiber backbone segments, extending network drops in campus or warehouse environments, and integrating legacy copper equipment into fiber-based infrastructure. The SC multimode interface supports standard 62.5 or 50 micron multimode fiber cabling commonly found in installed building networks.

Key Features

• Converts 10/100BASE-TX copper RJ45 to 100BASE-FX multimode fiber
• 1x9 optical transceiver module with SC connector interface
• Supports multimode fiber for in-building and campus fiber runs
• Auto-negotiation on the copper TX port for 10 or 100 Mbps operation
• Standalone form factor suitable for desktop or rack-adjacent placement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style standalone media converter for use in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet networks requiring copper-to-multimode-fiber transitions with SC-type connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified network technicians or low-voltage cabling professionals. Power down or disconnect the network port on the upstream switch before connecting the converter to avoid link negotiation faults. Use SC-terminated multimode fiber patch cables rated for 100BASE-FX; verify fiber end-face cleanliness before mating connectors. Follow applicable local low-voltage wiring codes and TIA-568 cabling standards for fiber termination and bend-radius requirements.
