It operates in compliance with the IEEE 802.3ah standard, which governs Ethernet in the first mile (EFM) applications. Network technicians and installers deploy this unit to extend network reach beyond the distance limitations of copper cabling or to connect fiber segments to copper-based switches and endpoints. The converter handles both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps copper-side speeds while maintaining a 100 Mbps fiber-side connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis media converter is suited for enterprise and service provider environments where copper-to-fiber transitions are required at the network edge. Typical installations include building distribution closets, campus backbone connections, and last-mile fiber deployments where IEEE 802.3ah EFM compliance is required. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new infrastructure builds and retrofit scenarios where existing copper runs must be extended over fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConverts 10\/100BASE-TX copper to 100BASE-FX fiber optic in a single unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIEEE 802.3ah compliant for Ethernet in the first mile (EFM) applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps copper-side auto-negotiation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for enterprise edge and service provider last-mile deployments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually as a single-unit package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style media converter for 10\/100BASE-TX copper to 100BASE-FX fiber networks requiring IEEE 802.3ah compliance at the network edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified network technician familiar with fiber optic handling and structured cabling practices. Power down or disconnect the affected network segment before connecting or disconnecting fiber and copper interfaces to avoid data disruption. Fiber connectors should be cleaned before insertion, and minimum bend radius requirements for the fiber cable must be observed. Follow applicable local network infrastructure codes and the manufacturer documentation for power supply and mounting requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCopper Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\/100BASE-TX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiber Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100BASE-FX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: IEEE 802.3ah\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Per Package\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TRANSITION NETWORKS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SBFTF1040-105-UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LANTRONIX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557660361010,"sku":"SBFTF1040-105-UK","price":497.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/eeaf816375eedd15f7a5f77aeeccb26b.jpg?v=1786392245","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/transition-networks-sbftf1040-105-uk-media-converter","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
