Stand-alone Fast Ethernet Media and Rate Converter
10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
SBFTF Series
Description
The SBFTF Series is a stand-alone media converter that provides an interface between 10/100Base-TX ports and 100Base-FX ports, allowing users to integrate fiber optic cabling into 10/100 copper environments. Operating at Layer 2, the data link layer, this converter not only converts copper to fiber, it also provides rate conversion allowing legacy 10Base-T copper devices to connect to 100Base-FX fiber.
Features
- Auto-Negotiation
- Auto-MDI/MDIX
- Link Pass Through
- Far-End-Fault (FEF) Detection
- Automatic Link Restoration Extend network distance up to 120km
- Bridging devices will provide conversion and integration solutions for half and full-duplex environments
- 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps on TP port
- Half or full-duplex on all ports including fiber

I’ve used Transition Networks’ products in my customer installations for years. I’ve always found their products, customer service, sales, and tech support to be top-notch. I wouldn’t even consider using another brand.
