Transition Networks SGFEB1013-130-OZ Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SGFEB1013-130-OZ is a network media converter that bridges 10/100/1000BASE-T copper connections to 1000BASE-X fiber optic links. It enables network administrators and low-voltage cabling technicians to extend or segment enterprise networks by converting between copper and fiber media without replacing existing switching infrastructure. The unit is classified as an Enterprise PoE device, making it suited for deployments where Power over Ethernet capability is part of the network architecture. This converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds across both the copper and fiber interfaces.

The SGFEB1013-130-OZ is designed for enterprise network environments where copper-to-fiber conversion is required at the edge or distribution layer. Typical installations include commercial buildings, campus networks, and data center access layers where extending fiber runs beyond the distance limits of copper cabling is necessary. It is typically installed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network infrastructure professionals during structured cabling or network upgrade projects.

Key Features

• Converts 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-X fiber optic interface
• Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds on both interfaces
• Enterprise PoE device classification for PoE-capable network deployments
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward individual deployment or replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for enterprise copper-to-fiber network conversion applications. Consult TRANSITION NETWORKS documentation for specific switch, SFP module, and fiber plant compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network engineer familiar with structured cabling standards and Gigabit Ethernet requirements. Power down or disconnect PoE-capable upstream switches before connecting or disconnecting the copper interface to avoid potential port damage. Fiber connections require clean, properly terminated connectors and should be inspected and cleaned per industry best practices before mating. Applicable cabling and installation work should conform to ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards.
