Deployment / Use Cases
The E-100BTX-FX-05(HT)-SA media converter serves as an ideal solution for connecting copper-based network equipment to existing fiber backbones. Its 2-kilometer reach makes it particularly valuable for linking network segments across separate buildings or throughout large facilities where direct copper runs are impractical.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting edge switches in remote offices to central network cores, extending surveillance camera networks across campus environments, and integrating legacy copper devices into modern fiber infrastructure. The converter's support for both standalone and mounted installations provides flexibility for telecom closets, industrial control panels, or equipment racks.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect network equipment between separate structures using existing fiber runs while maintaining Fast Ethernet performance.
Industrial Network Extension
Extend control networks in manufacturing or utility environments where electrical interference makes copper unreliable.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact design measuring 1 inch in height, 3 inches in width, and 4.70 inches in depth, with an approximate weight of 2 pounds. This slim profile accommodates installation in space-constrained locations while providing multiple mounting options including wall, DIN rail, and shelf configurations. The standalone form factor also allows for placement on flat surfaces where permanent mounting isn't required.
