E-100BTX-FX-N-01
E-100BTX-FX-NLP-01
PCI Media Converter
• Ethernet
• Copper to Fiber
• 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-N-01
and E-100BTX-FX-NLP-01 series media
converters connect 100Base-TX
twisted-pair copper cables to 100Base-
FX fiber optic cables and are PCI
(Peripheral Component Interconnect)
powered. These converters are designed to install directly inside a PC workstation
or file server and mount on any slot on a standard PCI. No additional power
supply is needed since the power is drawn directly from the PCI slot. Two LEDs
allow for network monitoring.
The E-100BTX-FX
-N-01
series media converter is 4.8 in. (121 mm) wide while the
E-100BTX-FX
-NLP-01
series media converter is 3.2 in (80 mm) wide.
* Typical maximum cable distance. Actual distance is dependent upon the
physical characteristics of the network installation.
