Scalance X206-1 Fo Ports - Siemens SCALANCE X-100 Commissioning Manual

Product Characteristics
4.4 SCALANCE X206-1
autonegotiation, two components connected to a link segment can exchange parameters
and set themselves to match the supported communication functionality.
Note
Devices not supporting autonegotiation must be set to 100 Mbps/ half duplex or 10 Mbps
half duplex.
Note
The SCALANCE X206-1 is a plug-and-play device that does not require settings to be made
for commissioning.
MDI /MDIX Autocrossover Function
The advantage of the MDI /MDIX autocrossover function is that straight-through cables can
be used throughout and crossover Ethernet cables are unnecessary. This prevents
malfunctions resulting from mismatching send and receive wires. This makes installation
much easier for the user.
The devices of the SCALANCE X-100 and X-200 product lines all support the MDI / MDIX
autocrossover function.
4.4.5

SCALANCE X206-1 FO Ports

Transmission speed
The transmission rate of the optical Fast Ethernet ports is 100 Mbps.
Transmission Mode
The transmission mode for 100Base-FX is specified in the IEEE 802.3u standard.
Since the full duplex mode and the transmission rate cannot be modified for optical
transmission, autonegotiation cannot be selected.
Transmission Medium
Data transmission is over multimode fiber-optic cable (FOC). The wavelength is 1310 nm.
Multimode FOC with a core diameter of 50 or 62.5 µm is used, the light source is an LED. To
transmit a signal, many modes (light rays) are used
The outer diameter of the FOC is 125 µm.
