Lantronix SBFTF1010-130 Fault-Tolerant 10/100 Redundant Link Protector
The SBFTF1010-130 is a stand-alone 10/100 Ethernet redundant link protector that gives a single critical device two network paths, switching from the primary to the backup path in about 189 ms when the primary link fails.
Overview
About the Lantronix SBFTF1010-130
Many critical devices, such as controllers, recorders and servers with a single Ethernet port, have no way to use a second network path. The SBFTF1010-130 (also written SBFTF1010130) adds that redundancy externally. It has three 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports: one for the critical device, one for the primary path and one for the backup path. The unit transmits only on the active path, so the backup path stays silent until it is needed, and no loop forms in the network.
If the primary path loses link, the protector moves traffic to the backup path in approximately 189 milliseconds. When the primary link comes back, it switches back automatically, with no operator action. A DIP switch can instead put the unit into a 3-port switch mode. Other DIP switches control auto-negotiation, 10 or 100 Mbps speed and half or full duplex, and the ports support auto-MDI/MDIX with 100 m copper reach.
Nine diagnostic LEDs show power, which path is active (PRI or BKP), and per-port speed, duplex and activity. The housing is the 82.55 mm stand-alone media converter size, draws 2.4 W from a 12 VDC wall-mount supply, operates from 0 °C to 50 °C, and fits the same wall, DIN-rail, shelf and rack mounting accessories as Lantronix stand-alone converters.
Key capabilities
- Failover in about 189 ms
- When the primary link drops, traffic moves to the backup path in approximately 189 milliseconds, limiting interruption to the critical device.
- Automatic switch-back
- Once the primary path re-establishes its link, the protector returns to it on its own, so no one has to restore the normal path manually.
- Loop-free by design
- The unit sends no signal on the inactive path, so connecting both paths to the network does not create a switching loop.
- Optional 3-port switch mode
- A DIP switch changes the unit from fault-tolerant redundancy mode into a simple three-port 10/100 switch.
- Nine diagnostic LEDs
- Power, primary and backup path LEDs plus per-port speed, duplex and activity indicators show link state at a glance.
How to choose the right SBFTF1010-130 part number
The family has a single part number, SBFTF1010-130, with three 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports rated for 100 m runs. It uses the standard 3.25-inch stand-alone housing, so the mounting accessories apply: WMBV vertical and WMBL wall brackets, WMBD and WMBD-F DIN-rail brackets, the RMS19-SA4-02 4-slot shelf and the E-MCR-05 12-slot rack. SPS-2460-SA and SPS-2460-PS are listed as compatible power supplies.

SBFTF1010-130 FAQ
How fast does the SBFTF1010-130 fail over to the backup path?
It switches from the primary path to the backup path in approximately 189 milliseconds after the primary path loses link. When the primary link is restored, it switches back automatically.
How are the three ports on the SBFTF1010-130 used?
One RJ-45 port connects the critical (main) device, one connects the default primary path, and the third connects the backup path. All three are 10/100Base-TX with auto-MDI/MDIX and support 100 m copper runs.
Can the SBFTF1010-130 work as a normal switch?
Yes. DIP switch SW4 changes the unit from redundancy mode to a 3-port switch mode. Other DIP switches set auto-negotiation, 10 or 100 Mbps speed and half or full duplex.
Will the backup link create a network loop?
No. The redundant link protector does not send any signal on the inactive path, so only one path carries traffic at a time and the backup connection stays idle until a failover.
What power does the SBFTF1010-130 use?
It consumes 2.4 W. Power comes from a 12 VDC wall-mount supply, with domestic (120 VAC, 60 Hz) and international (100-240 VAC, 50 Hz) versions listed. Operating temperature is 0 °C to 50 °C.
