Copper-to-fiber media conversion

This TRENDnet TFC-GSFP media converter transforms 1000BASE-T copper Gigabit Ethernet to 1000BASE-SX/LX fiber via an SFP slot. It provides a single RJ-45 port with Auto-MDIX and full-duplex support at wire speed. The SFP slot accepts both multimode and single-mode modules for flexible fiber deployment.

Network links needing fiber extension

The unit suits installers extending Gigabit links over fiber where copper distance limits apply. It works for campus, building-to-building or data-centre runs using standard SFP transceivers. Buyers who need managed switching features, PoE injection or multiple copper ports should look at a different class of device.

4 Gbps switching capacity

The converter delivers 4 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity between the RJ-45 and SFP interfaces. This figure determines whether the device can sustain full wire-speed Gigabit traffic in both directions simultaneously without congestion.

Questions about this item

What type of SFP module must I already have to use the TFC-GSFP converter?

The SFP slot accepts any standard 1000BASE-SX multimode or 1000BASE-LX single-mode module, so you need one matching your fibre type and distance.

Will the RJ-45 port link automatically with my older 100 Mbps switch?

The RJ-45 port is fixed at 1000BASE-T full-duplex only; it will not negotiate down to 100 Mbps, so a Gigabit link partner is required.

Which LED indications confirm the TFC-GSFP is passing traffic correctly after I connect both sides?

The unit provides Link/Act LEDs for both the RJ-45 and SFP ports; steady green on both means a valid Gigabit link, blinking shows data passing.
