1. Introduction
The Canoga Perkins Model 8829 UTP-to-Fiber Optic
Media Converter connects or replaces 10BASE-T
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) segments with fiber op-
tic cable. The 8829 Media Converter operates in Full-
Duplex mode which allows it to be used in conjunction
with Full-Duplex Switches and Routers. In this appli-
cation, segments up to 40km can be supported. The
8829 Media Converter also interconnects servers or
work stations located up to 3km from each other in a
standard Half-Duplex (CSMA/CD) network.
The 8829 Media Converter is especially suited for harsh
manufacturing environments where immunity to noise
and electrical / magnetic interference or security con-
siderations are of particular importance, in addition to
long distance extension via Full-Duplex links.
