Network Media Converter Trendnet TI-F11SFP

The Network Media Converter Trendnet TI-F11SFP is an IP30-rated media converter that converts 100/1000 Base-T copper connections to SFP fiber interfaces. Designed for industrial use, it supports Gigabit and Fast Ethernet speeds, complies with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u standards, and is housed in a durable metal case. The device includes a single RJ-45 port, one SFP port, a 1024 KB buffer, and supports link distances up to 80,000 m depending on the SFP module used.

Advantages

The TI-F11SFP offers hardened components for extreme environments, selectable 100 or 1000 Mbps operation, Auto Negotiation and Link Fault Pass Through (LFP) controllable via front-panel dip switches, and dual redundant power inputs with overload protection. Its compact metal housing and industry certifications (FCC, CE) make it suitable for reliable long-term operation.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over fiber links
• Industrial and harsh-environment networking
• Connections requiring SFP modules for long-distance links
• Redundant power setups to minimize downtime

How to use

Install a compatible SFP module in the SFP slot and connect the fiber cable. Plug the copper Ethernet device into the RJ-45 port. Use the front-panel dip switches to select 100 or 1000 Mbps operation, enable or disable Auto Negotiation, and configure Link Fault Pass Through (LFP) as required. Connect power using the dual redundant power inputs (power supply sold separately). Ensure correct grounding and secure mounting in the intended environment.

Recommendations

For reliable long-distance links, choose SFP modules rated for the required distance and wavelength. Use a redundant power supply (TRENDnet TI-M6024 or equivalent) for mission-critical installations and verify dip switch settings after installation to match connected devices.
