2.12 Converter Function
The device supports the following media conversions between fiber cable and Unshielded Twisted-pair (UTP)
(copper) cable:
Operation Rules:
1. Under "Auto" port configuration mode, the conversion line rate depends on the link speed finally
established with the link partner on the RJ-45 copper port. Otherwise, a fixed line rate among 5Gbps,
2.5Gbps, and 1000Mbps is applied for the device.
2. The packet forwarding, data conversion between the fiber segment and UTP segment is transparent. There
is no packet modification in forwarding.
3. No packet type is limited in packet forwarding. The types include untagged packets, tagged packets, BPDU
packets, and the reserved MAC control packets.
4. RJ-45 copper port link down will cause fiber port link down, but not vice versa.
