1. Introduction

The product series are Gigabit Ethernet media converters which provide the following features:
Data Conversion between different Media types and Speed
The media converter supports the following conversions:

1000Mbps (1000BASE-T) copper to/from 1000Mbps (1000BASE-X) fiber

100Mbps (100BASE-TX) copper to/from 1000Mbps (1000BASE-X) fiber

10Mbps (10BASE-T) copper to/from 1000Mbps (1000BASE-X) fiber

1000Mbps (1000BASE-T) copper to/from 100Mbps (100BASE-FX) fiber

100Mbps (100BASE-TX) copper to/from 100Mbps (100BASE-FX) fiber

10Mbps (10BASE-T) copper to/from 100Mbps (100BASE-FX) fiber
Dual-speed SFP Fiber Connectivity
The SFP port can be installed with different optional SFP optical fiber transceiver to support multimode or
single mode fiber for short reach up to long reach distance. The SFP can support both 1000BASE-X and
100BASE-FX fiber connection. This feature extends a wider application range with this device.
Link Fault Pass-Through
This important feature of a media converter can force the link to shut down as soon as it notices that the other
link has failed. It allows a link partner on one cable segment can notice a link fault occurred on the other
segment and give application a chance to react.
