Overview
The AT-FS232 and AT-FS232/x Series Bridging Converters include the
following models:
The AT-FS232 and AT-FS232/x Series Bridging 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 bridging
converters can also improve the performance of your network by dividing it
into smaller, more manageable segments.
Each bridging converter features a 100Base-FX fiber optic port and a 10Base-
T/100Base-TX twisted pair port. The fiber optic port has a SC connector and a
maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) to 90 kilometers
(55.8 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-FS232 and AT-FS232/x Series Bridging Converters can be installed on a
desktop or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These bridging converters are easy to
install and do not require software configuration or management.
