Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Ports

The twisted pair and fiber optic ports on the unit are paired together (see figure 3). Each pair is
reffered to as a "channel" and each channel functions as an independent media converter. The
CTF6/M Multichannel Media Converter has six channels while the CTF12/M Multichannel Media
Converter has twelve channels.
