The following procedure applies to 10BASE-FL multi-mode and single mode
applications using the LE1500A-BNC, LE1500A-UTP, and LE1501A Media Converter
with ST-type fiber connectors. The primary difference between the LE1500A-UTP and
LE1501A for users is the maximum distance allowed. The LE1500A-UTP is used for a
multi-mode fiber segment length of up to 2000m, while the LE1501A is used for single
mode fiber segments of up to 10km in length. The following table is provided for general
