K2L - USER MANUAL
Chapter 2 Introduction
The MOST150 C-O Converter is a small, compact device designated for connecting optical tools or
devices to a MOST150 system basing on cPHY. As it has no firmware or VHDL inside and there are
no additional control elements the MOST150 C-O Converter is easy to apply.
MOST150 networks can be built up as optical or as coaxial systems. In order to use the features of
existing optical-based MOST150 devices also in coaxial systems the MOST150 C-O Converter can be
integrated in coaxial systems by just connecting the MOST150 network to the coaxial interfaces of the
MOST150 C-O Converter. The optical MOST150 devices can be connected to the optical interface of
the MOST150 C-O Converter using the delivered optical MOST cable. Afterwards the MOST150
devices can be used for developing, testing, or analyzing coaxial MOST150 based multimedia products
and systems. The MOST150 C-O Converter indicates both ‘power is connected’ and ‘MOST signal is
detected’.
