Transition Networks SGFEB1040-130-SA Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SGFEB1040-130-SA is a single-fiber media converter that bridges copper 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet connections to a 1000BaseBX single-strand fiber optic link. It is deployed in enterprise and commercial network infrastructure where technicians need to extend or convert Gigabit Ethernet signals over a single fiber run. Network installers and low-voltage cabling professionals work with this type of device to integrate copper-based network equipment with fiber backbone segments, reducing fiber strand usage while maintaining full Gigabit throughput.

This media converter is suited for enterprise environments where single-fiber bi-directional (BX) optics are used to maximize fiber plant efficiency. Typical install scenarios include connecting wiring closets to core switches, extending network reach across buildings, or integrating legacy copper infrastructure into a fiber-based network. It is sold as a single unit and falls within the enterprise PoE device category, making it applicable to commercial LAN deployments requiring reliable copper-to-fiber conversion.

Key Features

• Converts 10/100/1000BaseT copper to 1000BaseBX single-strand fiber
• Single-fiber design reduces fiber strand consumption on bi-directional links
• Supports full Gigabit Ethernet throughput on the fiber segment
• Enterprise-class build suited for commercial network infrastructure
• Sold as an individual unit for single-port conversion applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard deployment unit for enterprise Gigabit Ethernet media conversion applications requiring single-fiber 1000BaseBX fiber optic connectivity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage network technician or qualified IT infrastructure professional. Power down or disconnect the network port before connecting or replacing the unit in a live rack or enclosure. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local low-voltage codes when routing and terminating fiber and copper cabling. Do not bend single-mode fiber patch cables beyond their minimum bend radius during installation.
