1. Introduction
The device is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter series which provide the following features:
Data Conversion between different Media types and Speed
The media converter supports the following conversions:
1000Mbps (1000BASE-T) copper to/from 1000Mbps (1000BASE-X) fiber
100Mbps (1000BASE-TX) copper to/from 1000Mbps (1000BASE-X) fiber
10Mbps (10BASE-T) copper to/from 1000Mbps (1000BASE-X) fiber
1000Mbps (1000BASE-T) copper to/from 100Mbps (100BASE-FX) fiber
100Mbps (1000BASE-TX) copper to/from 100Mbps (100BASE-FX) fiber
10Mbps (10BASE-T) copper to/from 100Mbps (100BASE-FX) fiber
Dual-speed Fiber Connectivity
The converter is featured with two different SFP slots. One is designed for accommodating Gigabit Ethernet
1000BASE-X optical fiber transceiver and the other is designed for accommodating Fast Ethernet
100BASE-FX optical fiber transceiver. Each SFP can be installed with variety of optional transceivers
supporting multimode or single mode fiber for short reach up to long reach distance.
Power over Ethernet support
The copper port is featured Power over Ethernet (PoE) function. With proper 48VDC power supply, it is able
to deliver power to one PoE powered device (PD) via Cat.5 cable together with LAN data.
Loop-back Test Support
The media converter provides loop-back test function which can verify the fiber link with its link partner by
sending test packets to the link partner and verifying the echo packets sent back. This feature is helpful in
checking connection quality of fiber link during installation.
