1.3.1 Connections
The FOT-F3 connects two active Ethernet devices using an AUI
cable and a fiber optic link segment. Devices such as repeaters,
multiport repeaters, multiport transceivers or host systems are
connected using fiber optic cables.
The FOT-F3 is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3 and uses the
same signaling specified in FOIRL specifications. It provides the
flexibility to connect to networks using Ethernet Version 1,
Version 2, and/or IEEE 802.3 equipment through an AUI port.
However, the FOT-F3 uses 1300 nm wave-length optical
transmitters and receivers and should be used only with
Cabletron Systems Ethernet single mode products such as the
FOMIM-36, FOMIM-32, and the FOMIM-38.
