2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Gigabit Media Converter links 10/100/1000BASE-T to 100-/1000-Mbps SFP fiber connections. You can manage it via an
intuitive configuration Web page.
This media converter's SFP port supports both Fast Ethernet (155 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps) compatible SFP
modules. If the media converter's SFP supports dual-speed mode, you can change the unit's transmit rate via the Web
configuration user interface (UI).
