2.2 DESCRIPTION
There are four base models in the Patton Model 2300M Series of stan-
dards compliant Ethernet Media Converters (see Table 1) that convert
and extend the reach of copper Ethernet over multi-mode fiber.
• The Model 2300M converts 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX and extends
up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note
The Model 2300M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100
and 100Base-TX/100Base-FX network devices only; it is not
capable of connecting to 10Base-T/10Base-FL network devices.
• The Model 2310M converts 10Base-T to 10Base-FL and extends up to
1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note
The Model 2310M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100
and 10Base-T/10Base-FL network devices only; it is not capable
of connecting to 100Base-TX/100Base-FX or SX network
devices.
• The Model 2311M auto-negotiates and converts 10Base-T/100Base-
TX to 10Base-FL/100Base-SX and extends up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km)
in 10Base-FL mode and 0.19 miles (0.3 km) in 100Base-SX mode.
Note
The Model 2311M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100,
10Base-T/10Base-FL, and 100Base-T/100Base-SX network
devices, however, it is not capable of connecting to 100Base-FX
network devices. Further, the Model 2311M cannot connect a
10Base network device on one side to a 100Base network
device on the other.
If a 10Base network device is on one side of the Model 2311M,
there must be another 10Base or an auto-sensing 10/100 net-
work device on the other. If a 100Base network device is on one
