Introduction

Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-05 Fast Ethernet media converters connect 100Base-TX shielded or
unshielded twisted-pair copper cable to 100Base-FX fiber-optic cable. The E-100BTX-FX-05 series media
converters include both Standard temperature models and Extended temperature models.
Standard Temperature Models: media converters that can be used in a standard temperature
environment from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
Extended Temperature Models: media converters with the "HT" extension in the part number can be
used in an extended temperature environment from -25°C to 65°C (-13°F to 149°F).

  • Page 8: Operation

    Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-05 User Guide Operation Status LEDs Use the status LEDs to monitor the E-100BTX-FX-05 media converter operation in the network: Power (Power) On = Connected to external AC power. (Signal Detect/Fiber) On = Fiber link is detected. (Signal Detect/Copper) On = Copper link is detected.

  • Page 9: Far-End Fault

    Transition Networks E-100BTX-FX-05 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).
