Media Converter for Gigabit Networks

The Transition Networks CGFEB1013-120 is a slide-in module that bridges copper and fiber links at 1000 Mbps. It suits network engineers extending a Gigabit backbone across longer distances. The unit handles 10/100/1000 Mbps on the copper side and 1000 Mbps on the fiber side. It is not for installers who need Power over Ethernet or multi-rate 10G uplinks.

Passive Cooling and Low Power Draw

The module operates without a fan, so it adds no audible noise to a rack or wiring closet. Power consumption stays modest because the device only converts signals at wire speed. Auto-negotiation on both ports reduces link-flap retries and keeps the link stable. There is no active thermal management to configure or monitor.

Slide-In Chassis Mounting

The black enclosure fits Transition Networks Point System chassis, letting technicians add or swap converters without tools. Front-panel LEDs show link, speed and duplex status for both copper and fiber ports. A DIP switch bank lets you force 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps on the UTP side when auto-negotiation is disabled. The form factor is not compatible with standalone desktop enclosures or SFP cages.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CGFEB1013-120 slide-in module and what step is commonly missed?

Slide the module into a compatible Point System chassis until it locks, then connect copper and fiber cables. The step often missed is confirming the chassis is powered off before insertion to avoid port errors.

What maintenance or replacement will the CGFEB1013-120 need over time?

The module has no moving parts or user-serviceable components. Maintenance is limited to keeping the fiber connectors clean and verifying link LEDs show solid green after any chassis firmware update.

What limit appears first on the CGFEB1013-120 during sustained 1000 Mbps traffic?

The 1628 byte maximum frame size on tagged 802.3ac traffic is the first hard limit; frames larger than this are dropped, so jumbo-frame configurations must stay at or below that value.
