Transition Networks SGETF1014-110-SA Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SGETF1014-110-SA is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter that bridges copper-based 1000BASE-T networks with fiber-optic 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX infrastructure. It converts standard RJ45 copper connections to fiber-optic connections, enabling network engineers and IT infrastructure technicians to extend Ethernet links beyond the 328-foot distance limitation of copper cabling. This unit is sold individually and is intended for enterprise network environments where copper-to-fiber conversion is required at the edge, in the wiring closet, or at the demarcation point between building segments.

The SGETF1014-110-SA is suited for enterprise network deployments where existing copper Gigabit infrastructure must interconnect with fiber-optic backbone segments. Typical installation scenarios include wiring closet deployments, inter-building fiber links, and network upgrades where fiber-optic runs replace or extend copper segments. It supports both multimode (SX) and single-mode (LX) fiber connections, giving installers flexibility depending on the fiber plant in use.

Key Features

• Converts 1000BASE-T copper (RJ45) to 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX fiber-optic connections
• Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds for high-throughput enterprise network links
• Compatible with both multimode and single-mode fiber infrastructure
• Extends network reach beyond the copper distance limitations of standard Ethernet
• Sold as a single unit for individual deployment or staged rollout

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for enterprise Gigabit Ethernet networks requiring copper-to-fiber conversion in 1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-SX/LX applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified network technician or IT infrastructure professional. Power down or disconnect the relevant network switch ports before connecting or disconnecting fiber-optic or copper cables to avoid link errors or equipment damage. Handle fiber-optic connectors with care, keeping end-faces clean and capped when not in use. Follow applicable local and national network cabling standards during installation.
