The TRANSITION Networks ARCNET
C/AR-CF-01), designed to be installed in the TRANSITION Networks Media Conversion
Center, E-MCC-1600, extends the signal distance of an ARCNET
link up to 2 kilometers over fiber*, up to 100 meters over twisted-pair copper in a star topology,
and up to 120 meters over twisted-pair copper in a bus topology. A switch on the media
converter allows the media converter to terminate the link or node signal.

UTP/STP Blinking green LED
indicates network traffic on unshielded or shielded twisted-pair link.
Fiber Blinking green LED indicates network traffic on fiber link.
*Consider carefully the network constraints imposed by the maximum latency
response time of installed equipment. Some equipment cannot handle the extended
response time that 2 kilometers of fiber introduces.
