UTP to Multimode Duplex Fiber Modules
These modules convert Ethernet from twisted-pair
to standard duplex multimode fiber optic cable. They’re
available in 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps, as well as
autosensing 10-/100-Mbps and 10-/100-/1000-Mbps modules.
UTP ports are autosensing for half- or full-duplex. An
MDI/MDI-X switch eliminates the need for crossover cable.
Plus, the modules feature Link Propagation, which passes
on link disconnection information from the fiber side to
the copper side, and vice-versa.
UTP to Single-Mode Duplex Fiber Modules
Single-mode fiber optic cable is the preferred choice for
long-distance applications, and the Dynamic Fiber Conversion
System offers many single-mode fiber choices, supporting
ranges of up to 80 kilometers (that’s about 50 miles!).
10-/100-Mbps and 10-/100-/1000-Mbps modules are auto-
sensing for speed on the UTP side. UTP ports on all modules
are autosensing for half- or full duplex. All modules have
switch-selectable MDI/MDI-X and a Link Propagation feature
for communicating link disconnection information from the
copper to fiber side, or the fiber to copper side.
UTP to Single-Mode Single-Strand Modules
These modules enable you to save on cabling costs by
transmitting and receiving over one single-mode fiber strand.
(See the ”Single-strand fiber WDM” box on
page 4
.) Like
our UTP to Single-Mode Duplex Fiber Modules, single-fiber
modules are autosensing for speed on 10-/100-Mbps and
10-/100-/1000-Mbps modules and are autosensing for half- or
full-duplex. They also have switch-selectable MDI/MDI-X and
a Link Propagation feature.
Mode Converters
Mode Converters enable you to interconnect multimode
and single-mode fiber optic cable. All have a Link Propagation
feature for remote troubleshooting.
Redundant Modules
These modules convert a single 100BASE-TX UTP link to
dual 100-Mbps fiber optic or dual 10-/100-Mbps copper links.
They provide hot backup for your vital connections, switching
to the redundant link within 100 microseconds if the primary
link goes down.
All ports support full or half-duplex operation; UTP ports
autonegotiate duplex, and fiber ports can only be set
manually. All UTP ports support MDI/MDI-X, eliminating the
need for crossover cables. All ports support Link Loss Carry
Forward (Link Propagation).
Switch Module
Not a converter, but a welcome addition to the Dynamic
Fiber Conversion System, the Switch Module features four
10-/100-Mbps Ethernet ports. The switch is autosensing for
both speed and duplex with hardware control available for
two ports and software control available for all four ports.
The switch supports MDI/MDI-X crossover. Port 1 has a
manual crossover switch; Ports 2, 3, and 4 feature automatic
crossover detection.
ATM OC3 Modules
These modules support OC3 over ATM or SONET and
convert duplex multimode fiber optic cable to duplex single-
mode fiber optic cable. They enable you to use single-mode
cable to add up to 28 kilometers (17.4 mi.) of distance to your
OC3 network. Plus, you get another 5 kilometers (3.1 miles)
of distance on the multimode side.
For fault detection, the modules feature Line Propagate,
Link Segment, and Remote Fault Detection modes.
T1/E1 Modules
Convert copper T1 lines with RJ-48 connectors to single-
or multimode fiber for long-range transmission. The modules
support AMI or B8ZX/HDB3 modes. A DCE/DTE switch
eliminates the need for crossover cable when connecting
to devices such as PBXs and CSUs. Test modes include Local
Loopback, Force 1s to Copper, Force 1s to Fiber, and Fiber Test.
Modules with VLAN Tagging
Multimode and single-mode modules are also available
with VLAN tagging.
The modules provide UTP to fiber conversion as well as
rate conversion between 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX and
100BASE-FX fiber.
The modules support IEEE 802.1Q Tag VLAN packet
tagging and untagging including double-tagging (1Q1A
double-stacking) as well as PortVLAN. VLAN tagging provides
a secure way to keep track of data packets as they are
transported across a LAN or WAN. It also enables users
to tunnel enterprise VLAN networks transparently through
the service provider’s network.
Like the versions without VLAN tagging, these modules are
available with different fiber port options such as multimode,
single-mode, and single-fiber. They support ST, SC, MT-RJ, and
LC connectors.
Desktop or Wallmount Managed Media Converters
for the Dynamic Fiber Conversion System
These remote managed media converters fit neatly on
a desktop or mount on a wall. Models are available with
110-VAC, 220-VAC, or 8–16-VDC power supplies. They convert
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX. The converters work
with all components of the Dynamic Fiber Conversion System.
(See the ordering information on
pages 6–8
.) Management
software (LMC3003A) is also available.
