ARDWARE DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
The Converter is primarily designed for larger workgroups,
demanding more speed and bandwidth, and requiring
expansion of the Fast Ethernet network.
It features a MDI/MDI-X crossover “push button” switch for
direct connection to the workstation, switch or hub. Now the
network manager does not need to worry about the cable
configuration (crossover or straight through) when
establishing a connection between RJ-45 ports.
The Converter features both a RJ-45 jack, and a ST, SC, or
WDM fiber optic connector that allows it to connect a
100BaseTX (copper) network to the 100BaseFX (fiber)
network.
It features Auto-Negotiation support which allows the
Converter to support connections with leading
NWay-capable Switches. At full duplex, the Converter can
create potential distances of up to 2 kilometers for
multimode fiber and 60 kilometers for long haul single mode
fiber between a LAN switch, hub or a file server.
Note: It is not recommended to use the Converter in
half-duplex mode, since the maximum spanned
distance is limited to 412 meters.
