Transition Point System Slide-In-Module Media Converter 10 100BaseTX RJ-45 to 10 100BaseSX 850nm MMF ST 300m

Point System Slide-In-Module Media Converters, when used in pairs, can extend distances between two twisted pair switches or a switch and a server up to 300 meters over multimode fiber (100BaseSX).

Using a single 10/100BaseSX media converter, a switch with a copper port can be connected to a switch or any other 10/100BaseSX compliant device with an existing fiber interface.

By utilizing lower cost 850nm optoelectronics, the 10/100BaseSX converter provides compatibility with
legacy 10BaseFL devices while providing the lowest possible cost solution for fiber installation of up to
300 meters (100BaseSX). This makes it ideal for building backbone and horizontal cabling applications where
cost and 10/100 auto-negotiation are critical.

Transition's AutoCross feature automatically detects and configures the twisted pair port on the converter to the correct MDI or MDI-X configuration. Auto-Negotiation allows devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. Devices with this feature will broadcast their speed (10Mbps, 100Mbps, etc.) and duplex (half/full) capabilities to other devices and negotiate the best mode of operation between the two devices. 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. In the event of a loss of RX signal on one media port, the converter will automatically disable the TX signal of the other media port, thus "passing through" the link loss.
