Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates on Fast Ethernet technology, specifically supporting 10/100Base-TX over twisted pair and 100Base-X over fiber optic media. The single RJ-45 port handles copper connections, while the SFP slot accepts industry-standard small-form-factor pluggable modules for fiber optic interfacing. This dual-media capability allows network administrators to seamlessly integrate fiber segments for noise immunity, longer reach, or security without replacing entire cabling systems.
Performance is capped at 100 Mbit/s, aligning with Fast Ethernet standards, and the maximum supported distance of 0.10 km provides adequate range for most intra-building or campus-edge deployments. The converter's internal architecture ensures signal integrity across media transitions, minimizing latency and packet loss. Power is supplied via an integrated AC/DC source, offering flexibility for deployment in locations with varying power infrastructures.
Key Product Advantages
The SBFTF1040-105-LA simplifies network integration by converting between copper and fiber media within a compact, single-device footprint. Its support for both twisted pair and optical fiber eliminates the need for separate conversion equipment, reducing complexity and cost in mixed-media environments. The inclusion of an SFP slot provides future-proofing, allowing users to select fiber modules based on distance, wavelength, or connector type requirements.
Flexible Mounting
Designed for versatile installation, this converter can be wall-mounted, rack-mounted, DIN rail-mounted, placed on a shelf, or used standalone. This adaptability makes it ideal for data centers, industrial control panels, telecom closets, or remote network cabinets where space and mounting options vary.
- Wall Mountable
- DIN Rail Mountable
- Rack-mountable
- Standalone
- Shelf Mount
Environmental Compliance
The converter meets key environmental standards including RoHS, REACH, and WEEE, ensuring it aligns with modern regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restriction and electronic waste management. TAA compliance further supports its use in government and public-sector procurement scenarios.
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is engineered for scenarios where network media types must be interconnected without overhauling existing infrastructure. Common applications include extending Ethernet over fiber for longer distances in campus networks, integrating fiber backbones into copper-based office networks, or providing noise-isolated links in industrial environments with high electromagnetic interference.
In industrial settings, the DIN rail and wall-mount capabilities allow integration into control panels or machinery enclosures, enabling reliable network connectivity for PLCs, sensors, or HMIs. For IT deployments, the rack-mount option facilitates neat installation in server rooms or network racks, while the standalone form factor suits small office or remote site setups where dedicated mounting hardware is unavailable.
Fiber Integration
Use the SFP slot to connect fiber optic cables, extending network reach beyond copper limitations or isolating sensitive segments from electrical noise. Ideal for linking buildings, securing data links, or traversing areas with high interference.
Legacy Network Upgrades
Bridge older copper-based network segments with newer fiber infrastructure, allowing gradual migration without immediate full-scale rewiring. This approach maintains operational continuity while modernizing network backbones.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact chassis measuring 1" (25.40 mm) in height, 3.25" (82.55 mm) in width, and 4.80" (121.92 mm) in depth, with an approximate weight of 2 lb (907.18 g). Its small footprint and lightweight design facilitate installation in tight spaces, while the robust construction ensures durability in varied operational environments. The multiple mounting options—including wall, DIN rail, rack, shelf, and standalone—provide installation flexibility across different deployment scenarios, from industrial panels to standard network racks.
