Functional Description

The AT-2812FX is a highly integrated Fiber Fast Ethernet ExpressCard/34
module based on Broadcom’s BCM5761S chipset. It provides an PCI
ExpressCard interface with SC connections to multimode fiber.

Using fiber optic cabling and a connector that meets 62.5/125 µm or 50/
125 µm multimode specifications, the AT-2812FX module connects a
laptop computer to a Fast Ethernet network. This module operates at
speeds of 100 Mbps in both full-duplex and half-duplex modes.

PCI ExpressCard is the new notebook interface that replaces the PCMCIA
Card Bus interface. The PCI ExpressCard interface is available in 34 mm
and 54 mm interface-slot sizes. You can install the AT-2812FX module in
either slot.

The AT-2812FX module has an SC connector, as show in Figure 1.
