Product Features
Rate Conversion
The media converter allows connection of 10Mb/s terminal devices on a 10Base-T legacy Ethernet
copper network to 100Mb/s terminal devices on a 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet copper network and/or to
100Mb/s terminal devices on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet fiber network.
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the SBFTF10xx-10x media converter to automatically configure
itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. The media converter broadcasts its
speed (10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the other devices and negotiates
the best mode of operation. Auto-Negotiation allows quick and easy installation because the optimal
link is established automatically.
In a scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device, the user may want to
disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance, the mode of operation will drop to the least common
denominator between the two devices (e.g.: 10 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature lets you force
the connection to the desired speed and duplex mode of operation.
AutoCross
When the AutoCross feature is activated, it allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X)
copper cables to be used when connecting to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices. AutoCross determines
the characteristics of the connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless if the
copper cable is MDI or MDI-X configuration.
Link Pass-Through
The Link Pass-Through feature allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX
(receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event of a loss of an RX signal (1), the media converter will
automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal (2), thus, “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end
device is automatically notified of the link loss (4), which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly
transmitted over an invalid link.
Far-end Fault
When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter transmits a Far-End Fault signal
on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition, the Far-End Fault signal also activates Link Pass-Through,
which, in turn, disables the link on the copper portion of the network (3) and (4).

Distance Extension
The SBFTF10xx-10x media converter segments 10Base-T copper Ethernet and/or 100Base-TX copper
Fast Ethernet and 100Base-FX fiber Fast Ethernet collision domains.
In a half-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the SBFTF10xx-10x media converter extends
network distances by segmenting collision domains so that the 5-Segment Rule or the 512-Bit Rule
applies separately to each collision domain.
In a full-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the SBFTF10xx-10x media converter extends
network distances to the physical cable limitations imposed by the selected copper and fiber cables.
Automatic Link Restoration
This feature will restore the dropped link automatically, upon correcting the fault condition.
Congestion Reduction
The SBFTF10xx-10x media converter does not forward collision signals or error packets from one
collision domain to another, improving baseline network performance. In addition, the media converter
filters packets destined for local devices, also reducing network congestion.

Half-Duplex Network
512-Bit Rule – 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX
Use the 512-Bit Rule to calculate the 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX half-duplex collision domain.
In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round trip delay limitations
of each Fast Ethernet collision domain. (A collision domain is the longest path between any two terminal
devices, e.g., a terminal, switch, or router.)
The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by calculating the round-trip delay
in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is
good. Note: The 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain.
To calculate the round-trip delay for a collision domain:
1. Find the collision domain, i.e., the longest path between any two terminal devices (e.g., terminal,
switch, and/or router).
2. Calculate the round-trip delay in bit-times for each length of cable.
3. Determine the bit-time values for each device (see below).
Class I hub 140 BT
Class II hub 92 BT
Terminal/router 50 BT
1 meter TP cable 1.11 BT
1 meter fiber cable 1 BT
Fast Ethernet switch 50 BT
SBFTF10xx-10x 50 BT
4. Add the bit-time values for each length of cable and the bit-times for each device.
100Base-TX twisted-pair example
In the example below, the SBFTF10xx-10x 2-Port bridging media converter acts as a switch. In this case,
the collision domain bound by the media converter on one end and a terminal on the other end.
Since the total of the bit-times in this example is less than 512 (see table below), the path is good.
Sum of the bit-times for the example collision domain:
Media converter = 50.0 BT
100 m TP cable (100m x 1.11 BT/m) = 111.0 BT
Two Class II hubs (2 x 92) = 184.0 BT
Two 10 m TP cables (2 x 10m x 1.11 BT/m) = 22.2 BT
Terminal = 50.0 BT
Total = 417.2 BT

Transition Networks SBFTF10xx-10x User Guide
33404 Rev. G https://www.transition.com Page 10 of 18
100Base-TX fiber Example
The drawing below illustrates a collision domain where two media converters are connected via fiber
cable.
Since the total of the bit-times in this example is less than 512 (50BT + 400BT + 50BT = 500BT) the path
is good.
5-Segment Rule – 10Base-T
Use the 5-Segment Rule to calculate the 10Base-T half-duplex collision domain. The 5-Segment
Rule states that a transmission path of a collision domain can consist of not more than 5 segments.
A “collision domain” and a “segment” are defined as follows:
A collision domain is the longest path in a 10Base-T network between any two terminal devices, e.g.,
a terminal, switch, or router. The SBFTF10xx-10x media converter is also a terminal device.
A segment is a cable connection between any two network interfaces within a collision domain.

Transition Networks SBFTF10xx-10x User Guide
33404 Rev. G https://www.transition.com Page 11 of 18
10Base-T Twisted-pair Example
The example below illustrates below applying the 5-Segment Rule. The cable between each network
device (media converter, Hub, or Terminal) is numbered as a “segment”. Note that the longest
transmission path (from the media converter at the top to the terminal at the bottom) is 5 segments.
Therefore, the network in the example below complies with the 5-Segment Rule. Note: The 5-Segment
Rule must be applied separately to each 10Base-T collision domain.
