The TRANSITION Networks FX-MC01 transceivers connect Fast Ethernet™ hubs and
terminal devices, through a Media Independent Interface (MII) connector, to 1300mn
multimode fiber-optic cable (E-FX-MC01 and E-FX-MC01(SC)) OR to 1300mn singlemode
fiber-optic cable (E-FX-MC01(SM)).
All E-FX-MC01 transceivers can be configured, using a switch on the front of the
transceiver, to operate in full-duplex or in half-duplex mode. A set of switches also on the
front can be used to set a unique physical address for each transceiver.
