Transition Networks SBFTF1011-105-NA Media Converter
Overview
The Transition Networks SBFTF1011-105-NA is a non-managed media converter designed to extend Ethernet network distances using single-mode fiber optic cable. This device is critical for bridging the gap between standard copper Ethernet ports and fiber optic infrastructure, enabling network connectivity over longer distances than copper alone permits. It's ideal for extending surveillance networks or connecting remote network segments in industrial or commercial environments where fiber is already deployed or required for distance. The SBFTF1011-105-NA supports 10/100 Mbps speeds, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices. Its TAA compliance makes it suitable for government and certain commercial deployments requiring adherence to trade agreements.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100Base-TX Ethernet devices on one side and 100Base-FX single-mode fiber optic transceivers on the other. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it is compatible with any network equipment that adheres to Ethernet standards, including most IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs that utilize standard RJ-45 Ethernet connections and operate at 10/100 Mbps. It is specifically built for single-mode fiber deployments, supporting distances up to 1.2 miles.
Installation Notes
The SBFTF1011-105-NA requires a standard 5VDC power supply (sold separately) and draws minimal power. It features a single RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet and a single SC connector for single-mode fiber. Ensure the fiber optic cable used is single-mode and rated for the 1.2-mile maximum distance. Correct polarity and connector type are essential for proper fiber optic communication. The device is designed for non-managed operation, requiring no configuration beyond physical connection.
