Description

The Transition Networks C3110-1014 Media Converter is a compact, internal solution designed to bridge copper Ethernet with long-haul fiber links. By converting 1 Gbps signals between an RJ-45 copper interface and an SC fiber port, this device enables seamless expansion of campus, distribution, and data center networks without the need for a full switch upgrade. Engineered for reliability and performance, the C3110-1014 provides robust support for 1000Base-T and 1000Base-LX, delivering dependable photoelectric conversion that preserves data integrity across media types. Whether you’re connecting legacy devices to modern fiber backbones or extending reach between distant network segments, this media converter delivers a straightforward upgrade path with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure.

  • High-speed bridging for critical workloads: The C3110-1014 provides one 1 Gbps RJ-45 copper port supporting 1000Base-T and one 1 Gbps SC fiber port supporting 1000Base-LX. This dual-media pair enables full-duplex operation with minimal latency, allowing you to connect legacy copper devices to modern fiber networks without replacing switches. The device negotiates automatically for compatibility with a wide range of equipment—from older servers to high-performance storage arrays—so you can preserve existing investments while scaling your network. For applications like HD video streaming, virtual desktops, and large-scale backups, this converter preserves bandwidth, reduces bottlenecks, and enhances overall throughput across media boundaries.
  • Long-range fiber reach for campus and inter-building connectivity: With support for 1000Base-LX over single-mode fiber, the C3110-1014 can extend links up to 6.21 miles (approximately 10 kilometers). This capability unlocks opportunities for inter-building links on campuses, data center campuses, and distributed enterprise environments. Long-haul fiber connectivity means fewer intermediate hops, improved performance, and simplified disaster recovery architectures. The converter helps you implement scalable network segmentation and centralized services while keeping copper runs short and cost-effective where feasible.
  • Internal, compact design for reliable deployment: As an internal media converter, the C3110-1014 is designed to fit within compatible chassis or internal slots, delivering a compact footprint without adding external power bricks or clutter. The internal design emphasizes quiet operation and consistent performance in dense data center racks, telecom rooms, or campus wiring closets. By integrating both copper and fiber interfaces into a single module, this converter reduces cable sprawl and simplifies cable management, making it easier to maintain high reliability in demanding environments such as healthcare facilities, universities, and manufacturing floors.
  • Plug-and-play operation with clear visibility: The device emphasizes ease of deployment with automatic speed and duplex negotiation on the copper side and straightforward optical link handling on the fiber side. LED indicators provide at-a-glance status for link, activity, and power, enabling quick troubleshooting and minimizing downtime. This plug-and-play capability is ideal for IT teams that need to scale networks rapidly or reconfigure topologies without lengthy downtime or specialized engineering support, helping you achieve faster project completion and improved operational efficiency.
  • Versatile, future-ready networking solution: The C3110-1014 is suitable for a wide range of applications including data centers, campus networks, healthcare facilities, manufacturing environments, and security systems. It supports network consolidation by bridging copper segments to fiber backbones, improving fault tolerance with flexible media-path design, and enabling phased migrations from copper-only infrastructure to fiber-enabled architectures. Its flexible, multi-media approach protects existing investments while delivering the performance and scalability needed for evolving network requirements.

How to install Transition Networks C3110-1014

  • Power down the host equipment and prepare the chassis or internal slot per your deployment guidelines. Ensure you have the proper mounting method and that the system is safely powered without risk of electrical shock.
  • Connect the 1 x RJ-45 copper port to your Ethernet switch or router using a CAT5e/6 cable rated for gigabit speeds. Verify that the connected devices support 1000Base-T and are configured for auto-negotiation.
  • Connect the 1 x SC fiber port to your single-mode fiber link using the appropriate SC fiber patch cord. Ensure the fiber is clean, properly seated, and that the link distance aligns with your 1000Base-LX requirements.
  • Insert the C3110-1014 module into the designated internal slot or chassis slot, secure it according to the vendor’s guidelines, and reapply power to the system. Observe the indicators to confirm a successful copper and fiber link on both sides.
  • Test end-to-end connectivity by transferring test data between devices connected on the copper side and devices on the fiber side. Validate throughput, latency, and data integrity to ensure proper encoding/decoding and stable operation across the media conversion path.
