About the IE-Giga-MiniMc/LFPT TX/SFP
The IE-Giga-MiniMc/LFPT TX/SFP provides a single conversion between 10/100/1000
Base-T twisted pair and 1000 Base-SX/FX fiber. This device Auto Negotiates speed
and duplex on the copper port and the fiber is fixed at 1000Mbps. There is a fixed
fiber and an SFP version available; both support jumbo frames up to 10240 MTU.
The IE-Giga-MiniMc/LFPT TX/FX, is a fixed fiber, transceiver model, includes one
10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 connector and one 1000Mbps SC fiber connector which
can support Single Mode fiber or multimode fiber in Dual Strand or Single Strand
Configurations.
The IE-Giga-MiniMc/LFPT TX/SFP
is a SFP* port-base model, includes one
10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 connector and one SFP port, which was designed to support
MSA compliant 100Mbps or 1000Mbps SFPs. The device will read the SFP and run
at the speed for which the SFP was designed. SFPs can be purchased from IMC
Networks to accommodate Single Mode or Multi Mode fiber in Single Strand or Dual
Strand configurations.
NOTE
CWDM fiber options are available for both the SFP and the FX models.
Both models include LFPT, a diagnostic feature that is can be enabled via a DIP
Switch on the back of the unit. This feature forces a port “down” state on one port
when link is lost on the other port. The result is the link fault passes through the
device. Understanding LFPT is critical to operating the device, for more information,
please refer to the Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) section.
* SFPs offer a one year warranty
