The SGFEB provides a cost effective method for integrating 1000Base-SX/LX fiber into a 10/100/1000Base-T copper environment. Deploying fiber into today's networks provides the ability to transmit data over significantly longer distances than is possible on copper. Fiber also protects your data from external sources of noise and interference, improving network performance.

The Transition Networks SGFEB1039-130 is a stand-alone Gigabit Ethernet media converter that connects 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet to 1000Base-SX multimode fiber, suited to network administrators extending a copper LAN over fiber.
Recommended For
- Network installers connecting a 10/100/1000Base-T device to an existing 1000Base-SX multimode fiber link with LC connectors.
- Teams extending a copper Ethernet connection between a wiring closet and a nearby room or device over multimode fiber, within the model’s typical maximum reach of 220 m on OM1 or 550 m on OM2.
- Network operators connecting legacy 10/100Base-T equipment to a 1000Base-SX fiber backbone without replacing the copper-side device.
- Installers needing a standalone, single-link copper-to-fiber converter at an access-layer connection or fiber-to-the-desk endpoint.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- To connect a copper-only Ethernet switch or router to an installed multimode fiber link, use the SGFEB1039-130 at the copper end; it bridges the RJ-45 connection to 1000Base-SX fiber without replacing the network device.
- When a network connection needs to reach beyond a practical copper-cable run, use this converter to carry the link over compatible multimode fiber. The documented maximum is up to 220 m on 62.5/125 µm fiber or 550 m on 50/125 µm fiber; actual reach depends on the installation.
- To keep a legacy 10/100 Ethernet device on a Gigabit fiber backbone, use the converter for rate conversion; the older device can remain connected at its supported speed rather than being replaced just to add fiber connectivity.
- For a point-to-point link between two Ethernet areas with multimode fiber already in place, use the SGFEB1039-130 at the copper side and a compatible 1000Base-SX fiber connection at the far end. This provides a fiber bridge between the copper network and the remote link.
