The AT-FS201, AT-FS202, and AT-FS202SC/FS1 Bridging Media
Converters are designed to extend the distance of your network by
converting Fast Ethernet data between twisted pair cabling and fiber optic
cabling. These dual-port converters can also improve the performance of
your network by dividing it into smaller, more manageable segments.
Each converter features a 100Base-FX fiber optic port and a 10Base-T/
100Base-TX twisted pair port. The fiber optic port has either a dual SC or
a dual ST connector and a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers
(1.24 miles) to 15 kilometers (9.4 miles), depending on the model. The
twisted pair port has a RJ-45 connector with a maximum operating
distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
The fiber optic port operates at 100 Mbps, while the twisted pair port
operates at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Both ports feature half- and full-duplex
operation.
AT-FS201, AT-FS202, and AT-FS202SC/FS1 Bridging Media Converters
can be installed on a desktop or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These
converters are easy to install and do not require software configuration or
management.
