TX2FX Ethernet Media Converter Copper to Fiber Optic

Product catalog summary
General Description
The TX2FX is an Ethernet media converter designed to convert signals from a twisted-pair 10/100/1000Base-TX cable to a 100Base-FX or 1000Base-X fiber optic cable. It extends network transmission distances beyond the 100-meter copper wire limit to over 10 kilometers using single-mode fiber optic cable. The device supports any standard Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module, allowing flexibility in selecting the appropriate transceiver for the fiber optic interface. It features automatic detection and initialization of the SFP module and diagnostic LEDs for network status monitoring.

TX2FX Ethernet Media Converter Copper to Fiber Optic-1

Ethernet Media Converter Copper to Fiber Optic General Description The TX2FX is an Ethernet media converter that translates transmission signals from a twistedpair 10/100/1000Base-TX cable to a 100BaseFX or 1000Base-X fiber optic cable. It expands network data transmission distances beyond the 100 meter limitation of copper wire to over 10 kilometers by using single-mode fiber optic cable. For the fiber optic port any standard Small Form factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver module can be used on the TX2FX. These SFP transceivers modules are available with a variety of different transmitter and receiver types, allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for the required fiber optical interface. TX2FX-13 with two copper RJ45 and one SFP port Further the TX2FX provides automatic detection and initializing of the SFP Module and has easyto-read diagnostic LEDs for continuous status reports on network speed, traffic and fiber optic port status. TX2FX Highlights ■ Triple Speed (10/100/1000MBit) Copper Ethernet Interface ■ Automatic detection and initializing of the SFP Module (100MBit-FX or 1000MBit-X over standard SFP Module) ■ Single wide Power Supply input (5 to 36VDC) ■ Different mechanical versions ■ Extended temp. option -40°C to +85°C ■ Configurable Flow Control, Link Loss Forwarding and Link Speed Forwarding ■ Jumbo Frame supported These features make the TX2FX ideally suited for industrial applications.
