Full dupex (
always ON
) is on the fiber side only; therefore, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The cable lengths are
constrained by the cable requirement.
1. Locate or bould IEEE 803.2™ compliant 100Base-FX fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors
installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cable to the EOF2N media converters as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cable to the other device (
another media converter, hub, etc.
) as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Connect the fiber cable
to the media converters
as shown.

The EOF2N allows either MDI (
straight-through
) or MDI-X (
crossover
) cable connections to be configured automatically,
according to network conditions.
• If half-duplex mode is used, refer to the 512-Bit Rule.
• If full-duplex mode is used, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The cable lenghts are constrained by the
cable requirements.
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10Base-T or 100Base-TX cables, with RJ-45 connectors installed
at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the EOF2N media converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device
(
switch, workstation, etc.
).
