Transition Networks E-100BTS-FX-05(SCHT)-NA Media Converter

Overview

The Transition Networks E-100BTS-FX-05(SCHT)-NA is an unmanaged media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling. This unit is essential for extending network distances beyond the 100-meter limit of standard Cat5e/Cat6 cable, making it ideal for connecting surveillance cameras or remote network devices in large facilities, campuses, or industrial environments where fiber infrastructure is already in place or required for longer runs.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed for direct fiber-to-copper conversion. It interfaces with standard 100BASE-TX Ethernet ports found on most network switches, cameras, and other IP devices. The fiber side is compatible with 100BASE-FX fiber optic transceivers, supporting either single-mode or multi-mode fiber depending on the specific variant of the E-100BTS-FX-05 model. It functions as a transparent bridge, requiring no configuration or IP addressing.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the copper port to your network device or switch, and terminating the fiber optic cable to the appropriate SC connector on the converter. Ensure the fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode) and wavelength match the transceiver on the other end of the fiber link. Power is supplied via an external power adapter (sold separately or included with specific kit variants).
