Transition Networks SGETF1040-110-OZ Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SGETF1040-110-OZ is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter that bridges copper 1000BASE-T network infrastructure with 1000BASE fiber via an SFP port. Designed for enterprise and commercial network environments, this unit enables seamless integration between RJ45 copper cabling and fiber optic segments without requiring a full switch replacement. Network technicians and structured cabling installers deploy this type of converter to extend network reach, improve electrical isolation between segments, or transition legacy copper runs to fiber backbones. The SFP slot accepts standard small form-factor pluggable modules, giving installers flexibility to select the appropriate fiber type and distance for the application.

The SGETF1040-110-OZ suits commercial and enterprise deployments where copper-to-fiber conversion is needed at the network edge or within a building distribution layer. Typical installation scenarios include connecting a copper-based workgroup switch to a fiber uplink, extending Gigabit connectivity beyond the 328-foot copper distance limitation, or isolating network segments across separate electrical environments. This unit is categorized as an enterprise PoE device class product per supplier classification.

Key Features

• Converts 1000BASE-T copper RJ45 to 1000BASE fiber via SFP slot
• SFP port accepts interchangeable fiber modules for flexible distance and media selection
• Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds on both copper and fiber interfaces
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Gigabit media converter for enterprise network environments requiring 1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE fiber conversion with a standard SFP interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed network technician or structured cabling professional. Power down or disconnect the relevant network ports before connecting or removing the unit from an active network segment. Ensure the selected SFP module is compatible with the opposing fiber port in terms of wavelength, connector type, and distance rating. Follow applicable TIA-568 cabling standards and local low-voltage electrical codes when routing associated copper and fiber cabling.
