Transition Networks C2210-1013 Fast Ethernet Media Converter

The Transition Networks C2210-1013 Fast Ethernet Media Converter is a compact, reliable bridge that links copper Ethernet networks to fiber optic infrastructure. Designed for versatility in data centers, campus networks, and remote sites, this converter takes 10/100Base-TX signals from a copper RJ-45 port and transforms them into 100Base-FX signals over multi-mode fiber via an SC connector. With an internal design optimized for efficient encoding and decoding of data into light pulses, it delivers solid performance, extended reach, and seamless interoperability with existing equipment. Whether you’re expanding your LAN, connecting distant buildings, or upgrading your network backbone, the C2210-1013 simplifies migration without replacing your current devices.

  • Flexible copper-to-fiber conversion: The C2210-1013 provides a single RJ-45 copper port for 10/100Base-TX and a single SC multi-mode fiber port for 100Base-FX. This layout makes it simple to connect legacy Ethernet devices to modern fiber links, enabling you to extend your network without overhauling your existing hardware. Its versatile design supports mixed-media deployments in classrooms, offices, data centers, and distribution closets, reducing the need for additional network equipment and cabling changes.
  • High-performance, hardware-based conversion: Built to handle Fast Ethernet traffic with minimal latency, this media converter uses internal encoding/decoding to translate electrical signals into light pulses and back again. The result is dependable, low-latency data transmission suitable for time-sensitive applications such as real-time collaboration, video conferencing, and data replication between sites. The converter operates transparently to most network protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices.
  • Extend reach with multi-mode fiber up to 1.24 miles: The multi-mode SC fiber interface supports significant distance extension over fiber, allowing you to bridge buildings and campuses without loss of signal quality. With an effective reach of up to 1.24 miles (approximately 2 kilometers), you can deploy fiber links across rooms or between distant network cores, improving performance, reliability, and security while keeping copper runs short and affordable where practical.
  • Rugged, internal design for reliable 24/7 operation: The C2210-1013 is engineered for continuous operation in demanding environments. Its compact, self-contained design minimizes space requirements and reduces installation complexity. By removing the need for external power adaptors in some configurations, it helps simplify deployment in equipment racks, wall-mounted enclosures, or dedicated telecom cabinets while maintaining consistent performance.
  • Plug-and-play simplicity with clear status indicators: This media converter is designed for quick, straightforward installation. It generally requires no complex configuration—connect the copper device, attach the fiber cable, power up, and observe the LEDs for link status and activity. The intuitive indicators help technicians quickly verify correct operation, diagnose link issues, and ensure the fiber and copper paths are functioning as intended.
