Trendnet Hardened Industrial 100/1000 Base‑T to SFP Media Converter

Robust Design for Extreme Conditions

When network equipment is exposed to harsh temperatures, dust, vibration, and moisture, only a truly rugged solution can guarantee uninterrupted performance. The Trendnet TI‑F11SFP meets IP30 industrial standards, meaning its enclosure is sealed against solid particles and provides a high level of protection against environmental hazards. This makes it the perfect choice for factories, rail yards, oil‑field sites, and any location where conventional media converters would fail.

Key Technical Highlights

• IP30‑rated hardened chassis for dust and splash protection
• Supports 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds via front‑panel dip switches
• Auto‑negotiation and Link Fault Pass‑Through (LFP) for seamless network monitoring
• Dual redundant power inputs with overload current protection – power supply sold separately (model TI‑M6024)
• Compatible with both multi‑mode and single‑mode SFP modules
• Fiber reach up to 80 km when paired with the TEG‑MGBS80 SFP module
• DIN‑rail and wall‑mount options for flexible installation
• Operating temperature range: –40 °C to 75 °C (–40 °F to 167 °F)

Why Dual Redundant Power Matters

Industrial networks often run 24/7, and a single power loss can halt production lines or compromise safety systems. The TI‑F11SFP’s dual power inputs allow you to connect two independent power sources. If one source fails, the converter automatically switches to the backup without interrupting traffic, ensuring true zero‑downtime operation.

Flexible Fiber Connectivity

The built‑in SFP slot accepts a wide range of SFP transceivers, giving you the freedom to choose the appropriate fiber type for your application. Whether you need short‑reach multimode links for a campus environment or long‑haul single‑mode connections spanning up to 80 km, the TI‑F11SFP adapts to your network architecture.

Easy Installation and Management

Installation is straightforward thanks to the front‑panel dip switches that let you set speed, auto‑negotiation, and LFP without needing a laptop or console access. The device also includes DIN‑rail and wall‑mount brackets, so you can secure it in control panels, cabinets, or directly on a rack.

Benefits for Your Industrial Network

• Unmatched reliability: Hardened components and IP30 protection keep the converter running in extreme temperatures and dusty environments.
• Zero‑downtime assurance: Dual power inputs and LFP monitoring prevent unexpected outages.
• Scalable fiber reach: Up to 80 km with the appropriate SFP, reducing the need for repeaters or additional equipment.
• Simple configuration: Front‑panel dip switches eliminate complex software setups.
• Space‑saving design: DIN‑rail and wall‑mount options fit tight control panels.
