10/100 Ethernet
Ethernet to Fiber Isolation Card
The RLH 10/100 Ethernet fiber link card converts a 10/100BaseT
RJ45 port to an op�cal signal for transmission over either
mul�mode or singlemode fiber op�c cable.
With half or full duplex opera�on, it also features Auto MDI/MDI-X
so a straight through or crossover cable can be used regardless of
end device. The card provides Link Loss Pass-through (LFP), and
has an informa�ve LED display for status monitoring.
This product is IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, 100Base-Tx and 100Base-Fx
compliant, and is interoperable with other 10/100 BaseT and
Base-FX devices. Both dual fiber (single direc�on) and single fiber
(bidirec�onal) models are available. Please refer to the op�cs
configura�on table below.
This fiber link card is designed to be installed into any of the RLH
Fiber Link Card Housings, and occupies a single card slot.

A copper network cable referenced to a remote ground can become a path for high voltages during a ground fault. Placement of all-dielectric fiber op�c cable (instead of copper) completely eliminates the presence of a remote ground, which drama�cally...
