J/FE-CF-04 

Stand-Alone Media

Converter

Fast Ethernet™

• Copper to Fiber
• 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
• USB Port

Transition Networks J/FE-CF-04 Fast
Ethernet™ media converter connects 100
Mb/s twisted-pair copper cable to a duplex
100 Mb/s fiber-optic cable.

Use the J/FE-CF-04 series media

converters to extend over fiber, the distance between two 100BASE-TX devices 

(hub,

switch, workstation, etc.).
