TRENDnet Hardened Industrial 100/1000Base-T to SFP Media Converter (TI-F11SFP)

The TRENDnet TI-F11SFP Hardened Industrial 100/1000Base-T to SFP Media Converter is a compact, ultra-rugged hardware solution designed to bridge long-distance fiber optic lines with high-speed copper Gigabit networks. Engineered explicitly for high-stress settings like manufacturing plants, traffic enclosures, warehouses, and outdoor IP surveillance deployments, this hardened platform ensures flawless data transitions over long distances without sacrificing network stability.

This industrial converter features a dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps copper RJ-45 Ethernet port alongside a flexible Gigabit SFP slot that accommodates both Multi-Mode and Single-Mode SFP transceivers. By swapping appropriate modules, network administrators can comfortably extend raw data transmission capabilities across distances up to 80 kilometers (49.7 miles). It is equipped with an easily accessible layout of structural manual hardware DIP switches that allow installers to toggle between 100Mbps and 1000Mbps SFP configurations, activate Switch or Converter operational profiles, and enable smart diagnostic monitoring tools.

Housed in a rugged, passively cooled metal enclosure, the TI-F11SFP features premium protection parameters including integrated 8kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shielding and heavy-duty lightning/surge mitigation. Dual redundant power inputs via a removable terminal block architecture guard against power line dropouts, backed by current overload safeguards. Optimized for rapid physical attachment, the unit drops directly onto standard commercial DIN-rails or attaches flat against partitions with included industrial wall-mounting plates.

Key Features

• Hardened Industrial Core Enclosure: Encased in a compact, rugged metal shell built to endure severe mechanical shock, drop forces, structural vibration, and heavy airborne particulate dust.
• Flexible Fiber Transceiver SFP Integration: Open SFP slot design accepts single-mode or multi-mode fiber modules to support network backhaul lengths reaching from 550 meters up to 80 kilometers.
• Extreme Operating Temperature Envelope: Uncompromised continuous deployment capability within unconditioned environments across a broad operational layout of -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F).
• Manual Hardware DIP Switch Interface: Front-facing switches provide easy, software-free configuration of SFP speeds (100/1000Mbps), auto-negotiation, switch vs. pure converter modes, and diagnostic rules.
• Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) Alerting: Features an integrated diagnostic tool that automatically forces an end-to-end link shutdown if a cable break occurs, stopping silent data loss across the fiber line.
• Dual Redundant Power Terminal Block: Designed with primary and secondary DC power input contacts protected by automated current overload safeguards to maintain constant system availability.
• Advanced Structural Surge Defenses: Defends your hardware investment with integrated high-voltage 8kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) mitigation and robust line surge protection.
