Transition Networks SBFTF1014-105-JP Media Converter Sc

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SBFTF1014-105-JP is a standalone media converter that bridges 10/100BASE-TX copper Ethernet and 100BASE-FX fiber optic networks using an SC-style fiber connector with a 1x9 optical transceiver interface. This unit handles protocol-transparent conversion between twisted-pair copper cabling and multimode or single-mode fiber, allowing network technicians to extend segment distances well beyond the limits of standard copper runs. It is typically deployed in enterprise LAN environments, industrial network closets, and campus backbone installations where copper-to-fiber transitions are required at the edge or distribution layer.

This converter is suited for enterprise network infrastructure projects where 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet segments need to interconnect across fiber runs. Typical install scenarios include connecting copper-based switches or workstations to fiber backbone links, extending network segments in facilities where copper distance limits have been reached, and integrating legacy copper equipment into fiber-based campus networks. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals are the primary installers in commercial and enterprise environments.

Key Features

• Converts 10/100BASE-TX copper to 100BASE-FX fiber for seamless mixed-media networks
• SC-type fiber connector for secure, low-insertion-loss fiber termination
• 1x9 optical transceiver interface for field-standard fiber connectivity
• Supports 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps copper speeds with auto-negotiation capability
• Compact standalone form factor for deployment in rack enclosures or standalone on a shelf

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard deployment unit for enterprise Fast Ethernet copper-to-fiber media conversion applications requiring an SC fiber interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician or low-voltage cabling professional familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Power down or disconnect the network port before making fiber or copper connections. Clean fiber end-faces before insertion and avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the fiber cable. Follow applicable TIA/EIA structured cabling standards for cable routing and termination.
