Key Features

  • 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX conversion for Fast Ethernet fiber integration in copper-rich environments
  • 1310nm single-mode SC fiber interface with 20km/12.4mi. reach
  • 100Base-TX RJ-45 copper interface with 100m/328 ft. reach
  • 16.0db link budget for the single-mode fiber connection
  • Low-Latency Layer 1 Design that retransmits Fast Ethernet signals without store-and-forward packet inspection delays
  • Unit and port LEDs for power, fiber link/activity, and copper link/activity status
  • Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX support
Lantronix M/E-TX-FX-01(SM) 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 1310nm single mode (SC)[20km/12.4mi.] with a 16.0db link budget. The M/E-TX Series supports fiber integration used in pairs or as a single unit, helping bring fiber optic cabling into copper-rich Fast Ethernet environments. 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 form factor is intended for conversion locations where available space is limited. Unit and port LEDs provide quick status information for power, fiber link/activity, and copper link/activity.

Ideal For

  • Integrating fiber optic cabling into copper-rich Fast Ethernet environments
  • Extending Fast Ethernet links beyond twisted-pair distance limits
  • Adding media conversion where available space is limited
  • Deploying a 100Base-FX single-mode SC fiber link at 1310nm
