2.1 Product Description
The Web-Smart FT-90x Media Converters supports conversion between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX network.
There are SC/SFP connectors and single-mode/multi-mode media for your needs. Ethernet signal that allows two type
segments connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. This converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in

fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. The LLR function can immediately alarm administrators the problem of the link
media and provide efficient solution to monitor the net.
With 100Base-FX SFP ports, the FT-905A is with high reliability and flexibility to extend the distance up to 2Km, 20Km,
or longer. It depends on the 100Base-FX SFP transceiver modules.
