Transition Networks S3100-4040-NA switch module

SKU CH-BPFB-27X9X MPN S3100-4040-NA

A multi-rate fiber-to-fiber media converter supporting Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, 2Gb Fibre Channel and SONET at up to 2.5 Gbps with CWDM.

  • Supports multiple protocols including Ethernet and Fibre Channel
  • Delivers 2.5 Gbps data transfer for high-speed links
  • CWDM compatibility extends reach over single fibre strands
  • Link Pass-Through and auto restoration maintain uptime
  • Two SFP interfaces enable flexible fibre connectivity

Fiber media converter module

The Transition Networks S3100-4040-NA is a fiber-to-fiber media converter in an external form factor. It supports multi-rate operation across Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, 2Gb Fibre Channel and SONET protocols. The module provides two SFP interfaces for flexible fiber connectivity. Line rates include OC-48, OC-12 and OC-3 at a data transfer rate of 2.5 Gbps.

Ideal for protocol conversion links

This module suits network engineers extending or converting fiber links between different signaling rates or protocols such as SONET and Fibre Channel. Features include CWDM support, Jumbo Frames, Link Pass-Through and Automatic Link Restoration with power and link OK status indicators. It is not for buyers who need copper interfaces, managed switching functions or more than two fiber ports.

Dual SFP interface constraint

The single specification that decides fit is the presence of exactly two SFP ports for fiber-to-fiber conversion. If the installation requires a different port count, copper connectivity or integrated switching logic, this module will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Which SFP transceivers must I already own for the two SFP ports to operate?

You need two SFP modules that match the fibre type, wavelength and distance required for your link.

Will the 2.5 Gbps line-rate and OC-3/12/48 support let me keep my older Fast Ethernet or OC-3 gear on the same fibre run?

Yes, the multi-rate design carries Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel and SONET rates simultaneously.

How do I confirm the converter is passing traffic correctly after installation?

Verify the Power LED is on and the Link OK LED lights for each SFP port when cables are connected.
