Product Features Congestion reduction The M/E-PSW-FX-02 media converters do not forward collision signals or error packets from one collision domain to another, resulting in improvements in baseline network performance. In addition, the media converter filters packets destined for local devices, which reduces network congestion. -
Page 6: Flow Control
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of cables used. See front cover for M/E-PSW-FX-02 cable specifications. The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network. Note: Full duplex is ON permanently for the fiber port only. -
Page 7: Optic And Cable Specifications
Transition Networks ME-PSW-FX-02 User Guide Far-End Fault When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter transmits a Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition the Far-End Fault signal also activates the Link Pass-Through, which in turn, disables the link on the copper portion of the network (3) and (4). - Page 8 Transition Networks ME-PSW-FX-02 User Guide 33487 Rev.
