Key Features

  • 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX conversion for copper-to-fiber Fast Ethernet links
  • 1300nm multimode SC fiber interface with 2km/1.2mi. fiber distance
  • 100m/328 ft. RJ-45 copper distance for the 100Base-TX side
  • 100 Mbps data rate for Fast Ethernet media conversion
  • Low-Latency Layer 1 Design retransmits Fast Ethernet signals without store-and-forward packet inspection delays
  • Unit and port LEDs show power, fiber link/activity, and copper link/activity status
  • Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX support for Ethernet link setup
Lantronix M/E-TX-FX-01(SC) is an M/E-TX Series Mini Fast Ethernet Media Converter for 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX conversion. This SKU connects 100Base-TX (RJ-45) [100m/328 ft.] to 100Base-FX 1300nm multimode (SC) [2km/1.2mi.] with an 11.0db link budget. The M/E-TX Series is designed for fiber integration in copper-rich Fast Ethernet environments and can be used in pairs or as a single unit. Fiber supports Fast Ethernet transmission over much longer distances than possible twisted pair. Its Low-Latency Layer 1 Design retransmits Fast Ethernet signals without the store-and-forward packet inspection delays found in other Layer 2 devices. The mini size is intended for conversion locations where available space is limited, and unit and port LEDs provide quick status information.

Ideal For

  • Integrating fiber optic cabling into copper-rich Fast Ethernet environments
  • Extending Fast Ethernet distance over fiber where twisted pair distance is not sufficient
  • Adding SC multimode 100Base-FX connectivity to an RJ-45 Fast Ethernet link
  • Installing a mini media converter where available space is limited
