E-100BTX-FX-N-02
E-100BTX-FX-NLP-02
PCI Powered Media Converter
• Fast Ethernet
• Copper to Fiber
• 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-N-
02 and E-100BTX-FX-NLP-02 series
media converters connect 100Base-TX
twisted-pair copper cables to 100Base-
FX fiber optic cables. These converters
are designed to install directly inside a
PC workstation or file server, and insert
into any slot on a standard PCI bus. No additional power supply is needed since the
power is drawn directly from the PCI slot. The two LEDs on the RJ-45 port facilitate
end-user network monitoring.
* Typical maximum cable distance. Actual distance is dependent upon the physical
characteristics of the network installation.
