Multimode fiber to single mode fiber bridging converter
Fiber cable extender
Cascaded fiber networking
Depending on the types of the network ports, two different model series are defined as follows:
Model Copper Port (RJ-45) Fiber Port
KSD-103-A 2 ports 1 port
KSD-103-B 1 port 2 ports
The switch also provide the following advantages:
