User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The TRENDnet TFC-110S40D5I converts 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet signals from twisted pair copper (RJ-45) to 100Base-FX signals for single-mode fiber optic cable (SC port). This extends network connectivity up to 40 kilometers, far beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet, enabling long-distance links between network devices.
What is the maximum distance supported?
This converter supports a maximum distance of 40 kilometers (24.85 miles) over single-mode fiber optic cable. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting buildings across campuses, industrial sites, or metropolitan areas where copper cabling would be insufficient or prone to interference.
What type of fiber connector does it use?
The converter uses an SC simplex fiber optic connector for the fiber port. This connector type is common in single-mode fiber installations and provides reliable optical coupling. The SC port is simplex, meaning it handles one fiber strand for transmission in one direction, typically paired with another converter for bidirectional communication.
Can this converter be managed?
Yes, the converter supports port-level SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) management. This allows network administrators to monitor port status, configure settings, and troubleshoot connectivity issues remotely. It does not have a dedicated management port but integrates SNMP functionality into its operational ports.
How is this converter powered?
The converter is powered by an included 5 V DC, 1 A power adapter. This standard external power supply connects to the unit, providing reliable operation. The converter does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) or other alternative power methods, requiring the supplied adapter for operation.
What is the warranty for this product?
TRENDnet provides a 3-year lifetime warranty for this media converter. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the duration of the product's lifetime, offering long-term reliability assurance. The converter is also TAA compliant, meeting requirements for government and institutional procurement.
