User Manual
FAQ
What distances does this fiber media converter support?
The TFC-110S30 supports maximum distances of up to 30 kilometers (18.64 miles) over single-mode fiber optic cabling. This extended reach is ideal for connecting network segments across campuses, between buildings, or in large industrial sites where copper Ethernet limitations would otherwise require repeaters or additional infrastructure.
What types of connectors does it use for fiber and copper?
This converter features one SC connector for single-mode fiber optic connections and one RJ-45 port for standard twisted-pair Ethernet cables. The SC connector is commonly used in fiber deployments for its reliable push-pull mechanism, while the RJ-45 port supports auto-MDIX for easy connectivity to switches, routers, or end devices.
Does it require manual configuration for network settings?
No, the RJ-45 port supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX, automatically detecting and configuring speed (10/100 Mbps) and duplex settings (half or full-duplex) with connected devices. This plug-and-play functionality simplifies deployment and reduces the risk of configuration errors, making it suitable for quick installations.
Can this converter be used in a rack-mounted setup?
Yes, the TFC-110S30 is designed for rack-mountable and wall-mountable installations. Its compact dimensions of 5" H x 7" W x 13" D allow it to fit standard rack spaces, and it includes mounting options for secure placement in network cabinets or on walls, providing flexibility for various deployment environments.
What is the power consumption of this media converter?
The converter consumes 7.20 watts of power during operation, making it an energy-efficient choice for continuous use in network expansions. This low power draw helps reduce operational costs and heat generation in enclosed spaces like network closets or equipment rooms.
Is this converter compatible with chassis systems for larger deployments?
Yes, the TFC-110S30 can function as a standalone unit or be integrated into the TRENDnet TFC-1600 fiber chassis. This allows for centralized management and power in larger fiber deployments, such as data centers or telecom hubs, where multiple converters are needed for scalable network extensions.
