Fiberlink® 5100 Series
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Communications Specialties, Inc.’s Fiberlink® 5100 Series. The
5100 Series is used to transmit 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet over one or two single mode
or multimode fiber optic cores. The Fiberlink 5100 Series automatically adapts to the high-
est level of performance supported by the device connected to the Ethernet port. When the
connected device is a switch or a workstation that supports full-duplex, the Fiberlink 5100
adapts to the full-duplex mode and provides an effective 2000 Mbps bandwidth. When the
connected device is a HUB or a workstation that supports only half-duplex, the Fiberlink
5100 adapts to half-duplex mode providing the nominal 1000 Mbps.
With high performance data transmission and easy installation, the Fiberlink 5100
provides the ultimate ISP network solution for FTTH (Fiber To The Home), FTTC (Fiber To The
Curb) or for ISPs for FTTB (Fiber To The Building), and can also be utilized for small
office network environments.
