FEATURES
• Install the transceiver either directly
on an Ethernet device via the AUI
port or using an AUI cable.
• Models available for ThinNet or
fiberoptic connections.
• SQE (Signal Quality Error) switch
enables or disables SQE (heartbeat) test.
• Link integrity test on the fiber model
checks fiber cables.
• Compact design.

OVERVIEW
AUI Transceivers provide a way to connect legacy Ethernet
devices to ThinNet (10BASE2) or 10BASE-FL cabling.
The AUI to BNC Transceiver (LE1601A) enables you to
connect a legacy Ethernet device with an AUI connector to
Thin Ethernet coaxial cable. It extends coaxial cable segments
up to 606.8 feet (185 m) without a repeater. This transceiver
complies with the 10BASE2 specification for Thin Ethernet
networks.
Or connect your legacy Ethernet device to a multimode
10BASE-FL fiberoptic network or device using the AUI to
10BASE-FL Transceiver (LE1603A). The 10BASE-FL segments
can be up to 1.2 miles (1.9 km) long. The LE1603A fits the
requirements of the 10BASE-FL Ethernet standard.

Ethernet repeater
On the AUI side of the transceivers, you can use a standard
AUI cable (50 feet [15.2 m] long) to connect to the Ethernet
device, or you can directly mount the transceiver to the DTE.
Both models feature an SQE (Signal Quality Error) switch
that enables or disables Signal Quality Error (heartbeat). SQE
must be enabled when connecting the transceiver to a LAN
card, bridge, or router. This test must be disabled when
connecting to a hub or repeater. The BNC model has a 2-
position slide switch that sets SQE. On the fiber model, SQE
is set via a 4-position DIP switch.
LEDs tell you network status at a glance. The AUI to
10BASE-FL Transceiver also features a link integrity test
that automatically checks fiberoptic cables.
