The VERSITRON 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Fiber Optic Media Converter (Multimode ST) M7273SB converts 10/100BASE-TX copper Ethernet signals to 100BASE-FX fiber optic signals. This TX FX media converter is ideal for extending Ethernet networks over long distances and supports multimode fiber connections with ST connectors. It provides reliable and efficient data transmission up to 2 kilometers. Due to its auto-negotiation feature, the media converter adjusts to network speeds and cable types automatically for hassle-free setup and operation.
The Ethernet media converter 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX offers full wire-speed conversion, ensuring uninterrupted network performance. Its link fault pass-through function enhances fault detection, helping network administrators identify and troubleshoot issues. The 128Kb RAM data buffer ensures smooth data flow under heavy traffic. The M7273SB supports standalone or installation in our model MCC-14R which is a 14-slot 19” rack mount chassis.
The features like the built-in watchdog timer and Far End Fault Function provide additional reliability by ensuring continuous operation and real-time status monitoring in high-performance environments. The built-in watchdog timer automatically resets the device during system failure, ensuring reliable operation. The Far End Fault Function detects faults on the remote end of the fiber link. This media converter is designed for low power consumption and has a USB power port, allowing for easy deployment in both commercial and industrial environments. These enhanced features make this media converter an ideal choice for reliable, long-distance Ethernet-to-fiber conversion.Typical Applications

10/100 Base TX to 100 Base FX Fiber Optic Media Converter, Multimode ST (M7273SB) Review:
Stephen Chase
4.0 out of 5 stars
March 16, 2023 A Perfect Solution for Copper to Fiber Transition Last year, I purchased the M7273SB 10/100 Base TX to 100 Base FX Fiber Optic Media Converter with Multimode ST for my office network. I have tested and tried many media converters over the years, but nothing can match its performance. I can say this upgrade has brought remarkable improvement in data transmission, especially within the office LAN. Earlier, we faced challenges with high-speed file transfers. This media converter has assisted us in resolving these issues. We no longer worry about large file transfers or video conferencing interruptions any longer. Adding to this, the setup was simple, the converter has blended well with our existing network infrastructure, too. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to transition to fiber optic networking.
