FAQ
What network types does this media converter support?
The TFC-110S20D3 converts between 10/100Base-TX Ethernet over twisted pair copper and 100Base-FX over dual-wavelength single-mode fiber. It supports Fast Ethernet speeds with full-duplex operation on both media types, enabling seamless integration of copper and fiber network segments.
What is the maximum distance supported by the fiber connection?
The SC-type dual-wavelength single-mode fiber port supports connections up to 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles). This extended reach makes the converter suitable for campus networks, industrial facilities, and other applications where network segments span long distances beyond copper limitations.
Can this converter be used with multimode fiber?
No, this converter specifically supports single-mode fiber only. The dual-wavelength single-mode fiber interface is optimized for long-distance transmission up to 20 kilometers. For multimode fiber applications, a different media converter model would be required.
What deployment options are available for this media converter?
The converter functions as a standalone device with wall-mountable installation or integrates with the TFC-1600 fiber chassis for centralized management in multi-converter deployments. The compact form factor allows installation in network cabinets, on wall surfaces, or in equipment racks using standard mounting hardware.
