One-Channel Media Converter
Ports
The Converter provides one TX port and one FX port. For the
FX port, it provides options of multi-mode fiber using SC, ST,
VF-45, MT-RJ or LC connector, single-mode fiber using SC
or ST connector, and WDM single-fiber (bi-direction)
transceiver using SC connector. For the TX port, it uses RJ-
45 connector, auto-MDIX, and auto senses the speed of
10/100Mbps and full/half duplex.
Port Settings
Port settings are made very simple by means of a DIP (Dual
Inline Package) switch at the rear panel of the module.
