The TRANSITION Networks 3270 Twisted Pair/Coax (Copper) to Fiber
C/B-CF-01series media converters, designed to be installed in the E-MCC-1600
chassis and to support all 

IBM

®

3270 compliant devices, extends the signal

distance of a

317x or 327x Cluster Controller

to terminal links. 

C/B-CF-01 series media converters allow twisted-pair copper network
extension distances up to 1524 meters (762 meters each connection on two
media converters) OR coax copper network extension distances up to 614
meters (307 meters each connection on two media converters) AND fiber
network extension distances up to 2 kilometers on multimode fiber and up
to 8 kilometers on singlemode fiber.*
