Transition Networks's speed selectable copper to fiber media converter allows you to extend the distance between copper based connections with the use of fiber optic cable. The ability to select the speed of converter allows for easy migration from a 10Mbps network today to a 100Mbps network in the future. This converter is a true layer 1 device as both the copper and fiber ports operate at the same speed setting (e.g. 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX). For 10Mbps applications, these devices must be used in pairs.

Extend Ethernet Network Distances

Use the 10BASE-T to 10BASE-FL speed setting (back-to-back) to extend the distance between two 10BASE-T devices up to 40 km (24.9 mi.) using single mode fiber without a repeater.

Extend Fast Ethernet Network Distances

Use the 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX setting to extend the distance between any two 100BASE-TX devices up to 40 km (24.9 mi.) using single mode fiber. Or interface directly with a 100BASE-FX compliant port on any device to provide a 100BASE-TX port interface.

Features

AutoCross™

Automatically detects and configures the twisted pair port on the converter to the correct MDI or MDI-X configuration.

Link Pass Through

Link Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal.

Automatic Link Restoration

Transition Networks's converters will automatically re-establish link in all network conditions.
Selectable speed setting

The converter can be set to 10Mbps or 100Mbps. Both copper and fiber ports are automatically set to the same speed. Devices connect to duplex mode of link partner.
