SFP slot with support of 100/1000BASE-X
Media converters are equipped with one universal SFP slot. SFP slots are compatible with SFP modules with optical interfaces:
BX, EX, EZX, LX, SX. The list of compatible METEL SFP modules and their technical parameters is provided in the tables below.
Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE 25.5W support
Gigabit Ethernet port supports standards 10BASE-T, 100BASE-Tx and 1000BASE-T, Auto negotiation function and MDI/MDI-X. PoE
version of media converters are compatible with PoE standards IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at. They can supply terminal device
over Ethernet cable with the power of up to 25.5W.
Support of JUMBO packets
Media converters support forwarding of JUMBO packets of length up to 10K Bytes. This function can be freely switched on/off by
a DIP switch on the front panel.
Support of FAR END FAULT and LINK PATH THROUGH
Function Far End Fault defined in standard 802.3u provides the function of informing both terminal devices of line loss. If there is
a e.g. transmission failure on optical link between media converters then the media converter automatically generates signal Far
End Fault and sends it over the optical link to the counterparty. Function Link Path Through then automatically disconnects
metallic line on each media converter and thus informs terminal devices about line loss. The failure is immediately detected and
terminal devices can attempt to establish communication with another link.
1. Media converter B lost signal.
2. Media converter B disconnected metallic line.
3. Media converter B sent alert to Media converter A.
4. Media converter A disconnected metallic line.
Detection of optical/FTP cable disconnection
It is possible to set monitoring of activity on optical or UTP port separately in each media converter. If the connection is lost the
counterparty is informed about this status, see functions FAR END FAULT and LINK PATH THROUGH.
