The SFP slot supports single-mode, multi-mode and WDM small-form factory type transceiver modules for your needs. With 100Base-FX SFP ports, the FT-1105A and FT-1205A are with high reliability and flexibility to extend the distance up to 2Km, 20Km, or longer. It depends on the 100Base-FX SFP transceiver modules.

FT-1105A Switch 1 Switch 2 2-Port Redundant (FT-1105A) When TP Redundancy is enabled, TP Port-2 and TP Port-3 are configured as either forwarding or disabled. At any given time, one port will be disabled and one port will be forwarding.
Page 13
3-Port Switch When Fiber Redundancy is disabled, all ports (Port-1, Port-2 and Port-3) act as normal bridging ports. FT-1105A / FT-1205A supports OAM/TS-1000 protocol for remote status monitor. To enable the OAM support function, set the DIP Switch 2 “On”.
SFP port without having to power down the converter. To install a FT-1105A / FT-1205A stand-alone, on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following steps: Step 1: Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to which the FT-1105A / FT-1205A will be attached.
Step 4: Connect the fiber cable. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable into the SFP transceiver. Step 5: Attach fiber cable from the FT-1105A/FT-1205A to the fiber network. TX, RX must be paired at both ends. Step 6: Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FT-1105A/FT- 1205A and verify that the Power LED lights up.

Step 2: Carefully slide in the module until it is fully and firmly fitted into the slot of the chassis. Figure 2-1: Insert a media converter into an available slot Step 3: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Chassis with supplied screws attached to the package.
Chapter 7 Redundancy FT-1105A FT-1205A redundancy highly redundant-mode supports destination port of a packet is link down, it forwards the packet to the other port of the backup pair. The following figure shows the redundant function. Main Main Traffic is changed from Primary -Port to Backup-Port ●...
Chapter 8 Loop Back Reply The FT-1105A / FT-1205A supports auto loop back reply while receive loop back test packets on fiber port. Enable this function to tell the converter to reply fiber signals request from Web Smart media converter, such as PLANET FT-90x. You can use this to check whether the converter can communicate with partner converter.

APPENDIX A A.1 Device's RJ-45 Pin Assignments 10/100Mbps, 10/100Base-TX Contact 4, 5, 7, 8 Implicit implementation of the crossover function within a twisted-pair cable, or at a wiring panel, while not expressly forbidden, is beyond the scope of this standard. A.2 RJ-45 cable pin assignment 1 (TX +) 2 (TX -)
There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is color-coded. The following shows the pin allocation and color of straight cable and crossover cable connection: Figure A-1: Straight-Through and Crossover Cable Please make sure your connected cables are with same pin assignment and color as above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
A.4 Power Information The power jack of FT-1105A / FT-1205A is with 2.5mm in the central post and required +5VDC power input. It will conform to the bundled AC-DC adapter and Planet’s Media Chassis. Should you have the problem to make the power connection, please contact your local sales representative.
