Transition Networks SGETF1039-110-BR Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SGETF1039-110-BR is a gigabit media converter designed to bridge copper-based 1000BASE-T network infrastructure with fiber-optic 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX segments. This device enables network technicians and IT infrastructure professionals to extend Ethernet runs beyond the copper distance limitation of 100 meters by converting the signal to fiber without replacing core switching equipment. It fits into enterprise and commercial network environments where mixed-media topologies are common. The converter handles gigabit speeds in both directions, making it suitable for backbone interconnects, server room uplinks, and campus network extensions.

This media converter is deployed in enterprise network environments where copper-to-fiber transitions are required at the edge or within distribution layers. Typical installation scenarios include connecting copper-based workgroup switches to fiber backbone runs, linking buildings across a campus, or integrating legacy copper infrastructure into a fiber-based network core. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and retrofit projects managed by network engineers or licensed low-voltage contractors.

Key Features

• Converts 1000BASE-T copper Ethernet to 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX fiber
• Supports gigabit speeds for high-throughput network segments
• Enables copper-to-fiber transitions without replacing existing switching hardware
• Classified as an enterprise PoE device category for network infrastructure deployments
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and deployment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit media converter for enterprise gigabit network infrastructure supporting 1000BASE-T copper and 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX fiber interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage network technician or IT infrastructure professional. Power down or disconnect affected network segments before replacing or inserting the converter to avoid link disruption. Verify fiber connector type and wavelength compatibility with the installed SFP or fixed fiber port before commissioning. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and the facility network change-management procedures when integrating into live enterprise environments.
