FiberCom 10/100BaseT to 100BaseFX Bridging Media
Converter
User’s Manual
1. Overview
Electro Industries’ FiberCom 10/100BaseT to 100BaseFX Bridging Media Converter (part # EI-FP-
8110SA-25) provides 10/100Mbps communication between Cat 5 twisted pair Ethernet cables and Fiber
Optic cables. The FiberCom protects your copper-wire investment, while extending the range of your
communication capability and preparing your network for future optimization.
FiberCom features include:
•
Support for half-duplex and full-duplex transmission.
•
Ability to extend range of communication from 1000 meters maximum (with twisted pair alone) to 80
kilometers.
•
Built-in switching core to implement flow control and reduce broadcast packets.
•
Support for the transmission of extra long packets (1600 bytes) over VLAN.
•
Built-in 128kB RAM for data buffering.
•
Support for auto MDI-MDIX function for seamless device connection.
•
Support for link pass-through function (LPF) for fault detection.
•
Fiber optic immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) improves data transmission, especially in
environments with high EMI, e.g., a manufacturing facility’s plant floor.
