The TRANSITION Networks ARCNET
C/AR-CF-02), designed to be installed in the TRANSITION Networks Media
Conversion Center, E-MCC-1600, extends the signal distance of an ARCNET
segment or node link up to 2 kilometers over fiber*, up to 600 meters over coax cable in a
star topology, and up to 300 meters over coax cable in a bus topology. A switch on the
media converter allows the media converter to terminate the link or node signal.

network traffic on coaxial cable
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.
