TRENDnet's TFC-GMSC, Gigabit Fiber Converter, is a Multi-Mode SC-Type fiber converter that converts 10/100/1000 Mbps ethernet to 100/1000 Mbps Fiber and spans distances up to 550 m (1,800 ft.). Ports include a 1000Base-T (RJ-45) port and a 1000Base-SX (SC-Type) fiber port.

The network diagram shows two separate office spaces, each containing multiple workstations with computers and monitors. These workstations are connected to network switches, which are linked to each other, illustrating a network connection between the two office spaces. The network switches are depicted with various ports and connections, highlighting the flow of data between the different workstations and the central network infrastructure. This setup emphasizes the organization and efficiency of the office network.

Building-to-Building

Well suited for corporate interbuilding and intrabuilding backbones where fiber networking over longer distances is required.
