Product Features
Technical Overview
The TFC-110S60 implements Fast Ethernet technology with auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX on its RJ-45 port, simplifying connectivity by automatically detecting speed, duplex mode, and cable polarity. The SC duplex fiber port uses single-mode optics to maintain signal integrity over extended distances.
Status LED indicators provide real-time monitoring for power, link/activity, full-duplex operation, and speed. The converter supports full-duplex mode on both interfaces, ensuring efficient bidirectional data flow without collisions.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The TFC-110S60 converts Fast Ethernet signals from 100Base-TX over twisted-pair copper cable to 100Base-FX over single-mode fiber optic cable. It extends network connections up to 60 kilometers, bridging copper and fiber segments for longer reach and noise immunity.
What type of fiber connector does it use?
This converter uses an SC duplex fiber port. SC connectors are common in single-mode applications, providing a reliable, push-pull connection for fiber optic cables in network extension scenarios.
How far can it transmit over fiber?
It supports a maximum distance of 60 kilometers (approximately 37.28 miles) over single-mode fiber. This makes it suitable for long-haul connections between buildings, across campuses, or in remote installations where copper cabling is impractical.
Does it require manual configuration?
No, the RJ-45 port features auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX, automatically determining speed, duplex mode, and cable polarity. This plug-and-play functionality simplifies deployment and reduces configuration errors.
Can it be used in a rack setup?
Yes, while it operates as a standalone wall-mountable unit, it is also compatible with the TRENDnet TFC-1600 fiber chassis. This allows for centralized management and rack integration in larger deployments requiring multiple converters.
What warranty does it include?
TRENDnet provides a 3-year lifetime warranty for this product. This coverage supports long-term reliability and is backed by the manufacturer's commitment to quality in networking hardware.
