Transition Networks Ethernet Over 2-Wire / Coax Gigabit Ethernet SFP Extender

The TN-EOT-xx Series is a versatile Ethernet Extender designed to leverage your existing 2-Wire or Coax copper infrastructure. In environments where running new fiber or Cat5/6 cabling isn’t feasible, this compact SFP Extender brings reliable Ethernet service across distances up to 400 meters, delivering up to 200 Mbps of bidirectional data. Housed in a standard SFP form factor, the TN-EOT-xx slides into any SFP-enabled switch, router, or media converter, turning tired copper cabling into a modern data path without costly rewiring. This makes it ideal for industrial facilities, campus backbones, access networks, and remote office deployments where simplicity, speed, and budget-conscious upgrades matter most. By encapsulating Ethernet traffic over 2-Wire or Coax, it preserves compatibility with off-the-shelf Ethernet devices while extending reach and preserving service quality across the network.

• Long-reach Ethernet over copper: Extends Ethernet service over existing 2-Wire or Coax cabling for up to 400 meters with bidirectional data rates up to 200 Mbps, enabling legacy infrastructure to carry modern Ethernet traffic.
• Standard SFP form factor: Easily installs into any SFP slot on switches, routers, or media converters, enabling quick integration into your current network without special adapters or dedicated extenders.
• Flexible copper support: Compatible with common 2-Wire and Coax networks, reducing the need for new cabling and enabling rapid deployment in installations with pre-existing copper infrastructure.
• Plug-and-play deployment: Designed for straightforward installation with auto-negotiation and minimal configuration, helping you accelerate network upgrades and reduce downtime.
• Compact and practical design: A small, space-saving solution that fits into crowded equipment closets and rack spaces, delivering reliable Ethernet extension without adding clutter or complexity.

How to install Transition Networks Ethernet Over 2-Wire / Coax Gigabit Ethernet SFP Extender

• Plan your endpoints: Identify the two network sites requiring extension and verify that both ends have SFP-capable devices and access to the existing 2-Wire or Coax cabling.
• Insert into SFP slots: Plug the TN-EOT-xx modules into the SFP slots of your compatible switches, routers, or media converters at both ends of the link. Ensure the devices are powered and recognized by the host equipment.
• Connect the copper media: Attach the 2-Wire or Coax cabling to the extender’s copper interface at each end, following the manufacturer’s recommendations for cable type and connection method. Avoid sharp bends and minimize connector stress to preserve signal integrity.
• Power and verify: Power on both ends and verify link indicators on the SFP modules and host devices. Confirm that the link is established and that traffic can flow across the extended link without errors.
• Test performance and integration: Run typical network tests to verify throughput, latency, and reliability. Integrate the extended link into your existing network policies, VLANs, and monitoring tools as needed to maintain visibility and control.
