FlexPoint 10/100
10/100 Copper to Fast Ethernet Fiber Media Converter
The FlexPoint 10/100 is a modular 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
copper to 100BASE-FX fiber media converter that provides
reliable and cost-effective network connectivity and fiber
extension.
The FlexPoint 10/100 features a 10/100 auto-sensing RJ-45
port that adjusts to the highest level of performance supported
by the attached device. An override switch provides manual
control over the 10/100 operation of the RJ-45 port and the
Half/Full-Duplex operation of both the fiber and RJ-45 ports.
When configured for auto-negotiation, the RJ-45 port
automatically detects and sets MDI/MDI-X crossover. When
configured for manual operation, the FlexPoint 10/100 features
a manual switch to provide the MDI/MDI-X crossover.
The fiber port supports fixed-fiber connectors (SC, ST or LC)
and Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, enabling easy
adaptability to different fiber types, distances and wavelengths.
The FlexPoint 10/100 supports multimode, single-mode, single-
mode single-fiber, in standard and CWDM wavelengths.
Manual switch settings and LED indicators with on-the-label
descriptions enable easy configuration to legacy devices or
specific network requirements. The LEDs report the availability
of power, port activity and link status, speed and duplex modes.
FlexPoint modules can be mounted utilizing optional wall-
mounting hardware or with DIN-rail mounting brackets. They
can also be rack-mounted in a 5-Module shelf or in a high-
density 14-Module, power-redundant Powered Chassis.
FlexPoint modules installed in the 5-Module shelf or used
as standalone devices can be powered by an external AC to
DC power adapter, 2-pin DC terminal connector or through
the 5VDC chassis connector. Standalone modules can
also be powered by attaching an external DC power supply
(18-60VDC). When used in the 14-Module power-redundant
Powered Chassis with any combination of AC and DC power
supplies, the installed modules are powered via the 5VDC
chassis connector.
The wide variety of FlexPoint mounting and power options
provide flexible upgrade paths as network requirements change
and grow.
FlexPoint unmanaged media converters are easy to use
and provide dependable fiber connectivity in Enterprise and
Government networks around the world.
