TRENDnet Intelligent 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Single Mode Fiber Converter(60KM)

Designed for robust enterprise and campus networks, this TRENDnet Intelligent converter bridges copper and fiber seamlessly, enabling long-haul connections without compromising performance. The unit converts a 10/100Base-TX Ethernet link to a 100Base-FX single-mode fiber link with an SC-type connector, supporting distances of up to 60 kilometers. It is ideal for backbones, data centers, and disaster recovery sites where inventory, reliability, and scalability matter. With Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDIX on the copper port and Full-Duplex operation, you can deploy with confidence, knowing the device adapts to your existing switch or router settings while delivering steady throughput and low latency. The converter can operate as a standalone device for small to mid-sized networks or be integrated into the TRENDnet TFC-1600 fiber chassis for larger, rack-mount deployments. Backed by a lifetime TRENDnet Manufacturer's Warranty and NDAA-compliance, this fiber converter is built to perform in demanding environments and to fit into security-conscious enterprise networks. By combining proven TRENDnet reliability with flexible deployment options, this device supports scalable, future-proof networking without disrupting your current infrastructure.

• Flexible copper-to-fiber bridging – The 10/100Base-TX copper port automatically negotiates speed and duplex with connected switches or routers, while Auto-MDIX detects straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables. The SC-type single-mode fiber port is optimized for 100Base-FX transmissions, delivering reliable performance over longer distances without requiring additional adapters. Full-Duplex operation ensures maximum throughput, reduced collision domains, and minimal latency for bandwidth-intensive applications such as video conferencing, high-speed data transfer, and real-time analytics. This feature set makes it an ideal upgrade path for aging copper networks that demand faster, more scalable fiber connectivity.
• Extended reach up to 60 kilometers on single-mode fiber – Engineered for long-haul links, this converter supports distances up to 60 km when paired with appropriate SC single-mode fiber. This capability enables seamless inter-building connectivity across campuses, data centers, and remote sites, reducing the need for additional intermediate devices and improving overall network reliability. The long-reach design is especially beneficial for organizations with centralized data processing, disaster recovery locations, or telecommunication backbones where fiber performance directly impacts application responsiveness.
• Smart management with SNMP and flexible deployment – The unit supports port-level SNMP management, enabling remote monitoring, status checks, and configuration from your network management system. Deploy as a standalone converter to easily extend your existing copper networks into fiber, or install within the TRENDnet TFC-1600 fiber chassis for scalable, rack-mounted deployments in data centers or enterprise wiring closets. This combination of standalone and chassis options provides a future-proof path as your network grows, while maintaining centralized control and visibility over fiber links.
• Compact, reliable design with NDAA compliance and lifetime warranty – Built for durability in busy networks, this converter delivers consistent performance in a compact, stand-alone form factor or as part of TRENDnet’s modular fiber solution. It is NDAA-compliant, aligning with government and enterprise procurement requirements, and backed by a lifetime TRENDnet Manufacturer's Warranty for sustained peace of mind. This combination of compliance, support, and reliability makes it an excellent choice for organizations seeking stable, long-term fiber connectivity solutions.
• Seamless compatibility with TRENDnet fiber ecosystems – This converter is designed to complement TRENDnet’s broader suite of fiber products, including the TFC-1600 fiber chassis, for integrated, scalable networking. Whether you are upgrading a small office network or building out a campus backbone, the unit’s interoperability with TRENDnet’s fiber portfolio ensures consistent performance, simplified management, and streamlined maintenance across your network infrastructure.

How to Install TRENDnet Intelligent 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Single Mode Fiber Converter(60KM)

• Plan your link path: Determine the distance and route between the copper network device (switch/router) and the remote device that will be connected via fiber. Ensure you have the appropriate SC single-mode fiber patch cables rated for the 60 km link and that the fiber path is free of excessive bending or mechanical strain.
• Connect the copper side: Attach a standard Ethernet cable to the 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port on the converter and connect the other end to your network switch or router. If you are integrating into a larger TRENDnet fiber system, configure the copper side to the appropriate VLAN or QoS settings as needed for your network design.
• Connect the fiber side: Plug the SC-type single-mode fiber patch cable into the SC port on the converter and route the other end to the remote device’s fiber port. Ensure the fiber is clean and properly seated to avoid transmission errors and to maintain the link integrity over the extended distance.
• Decide on deployment mode: If using as a standalone unit, place the converter on a stable surface with proper ventilation. If you are expanding a larger network, slide the unit into the TRENDnet TFC-1600 fiber chassis according to the chassis’ installation procedure to achieve consolidated management and scalable growth.
• Power up and verify connectivity: Connect the power supply, power on the device, and verify link status on the copper and fiber ports. Use SNMP or the local indicators (where applicable) to confirm link integrity and duplex settings. If you encounter issues, re-check cable integrity, port configurations, and ensure the fiber path is correctly aligned and clean.
