S4TEF10xx-11x

Stand-Alone Media Converter

Twisted-Pair Copper to Fiber

• 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
• RS-232 to Fiber 
• (4) T1/E1 to Fiber

The S4TEF10xx-11x media converter is
designed to extend signals from a 10Base-T
Ethernet/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet port, an
RS-232 data port, and up to four (4) T1/E1

network ports over fiber. The Ethernet, RS-232, and T1/E1 interfaces are independent of
each other and the signals from these ports can be sent over the fiber interface
simultaneously.

The S4TEF10xx-11x is designed to be installed in pairs. For example, install one
S4TEF1011-110 as the local media converter and another S4TEF1011-110 as the remote
media converter. All S4TEF10xx-11x models have the following copper connectors.

*Typical maximum cable distance. Actual
distance is dependent upon the physical
characteristics of the network.

The chassis version of the media converter is
C4TEF10xx-11x. For more information, see
