Fiber Optic

Cabling

The fiber optic ports on the AT-MCF2012LC and
AT-MCF2012LC/1 media converters have duplex LC
connectors.

Table 8 lists the cable requirements for the fiber optic ports
on the AT-MCF2012LC module. (For the optical
specifications, refer to “100Base-FX Fiber Optic Port
Specifications” on page 63.)

Table 9 lists the cable specifications for the fiber optic ports
on the AT-MCF2012LC/1 module. (For the optical
specifications, refer to “100Base-FX Fiber Optic Port
Specifications” on page 63.)

Note

The fiber optic ports have a fixed speed of 100 Mbps
and can operate in either half or full-duplex mode. The
default setting is full-duplex mode. To change the
duplex mode requires the optional management
module for the chassis.

Note

The maximum operating distances of the fiber optic
ports assume full-duplex mode operation. The
distance will be significantly less for a fiber optic port
operating in half-duplex mode.
