The TRANSITION Networks Ethernet™ 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX media
converters connect 100BASE-TX unshielded twisted pair cable to 100BASE-FX
multimode or singlemode fiber-optic cable. Media converter models are selected
according to the fiber mode and fiber connector required at the site. Multimode
fiber-optic cable can use either an ST connector (E-100BTX-FRL-01) or an SC
connector (E-100BTX-FRL-01(SC)). Singlemode fiber (E-100BTX-FRL-01(SM)) uses
only an SC connector. All media converters function in half-duplex mode or, when
connected to devices capable of full-duplex connectivity, in full-duplex mode.

CAUTION: RJ connectors are NOT INTENDED FOR CONNECTION TO THE
PUBLIC TELEPHONE NETWORK. Failure to observe this caution could result in
damage to the public telephone network.
