1. Introduction
The 10/100 bridging converter provides two 10/100Mbps-based
Fast Ethernet switch ports. Port 1 features one 10/100M UTP
connection and Port 2 features either one 10/100M UTP connection
or one 100M fiber connection. It provides a cost-effective solution
for bridging between 10 and 100Mbps networks, extending distance
for 100Mbps networks, and media conversion for UTP cable and
fiber cable. Three models are available for multimode ST fiber, mul-
timode SC fiber, and single mode SC fiber connections respectively.
Both switched ports feature NWay auto-negotiation capability by
which they can negotiate the speed and duplex mode with the con-
nected device.
The following figure illustrates the front and rear view of the switch:
