MPL mTX2FX User Manual

High-T ech • Made in Switzerland
The µTX2FX is an ultra compact Ethernet media converter that translates transmission signals from a copper
100-TX or 1000Base-T interface to a 100Base-FX or 1000Base-X fiber optic. It expands network data
transmission distances beyond the 100 meter limitation of copper wire to over 10 kilometers by using single-
mode fiber optic cable.
For the fiber optic port, any standard Small Form Factor plug-able (SFP) transceiver module complying to the
MSA standard and are Ethernet compatible can be used. These SFP transceivers modules are available with a
variety of different transmitter and receiver types, allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for the
required fiber optical interface. Further, the µTX2FX provides automatic detection and initializing of the SFP
module
Since the µTX2FX design is based on a PHY, the latency of the frames is constant and with typically 250nsec
(1GBit) relative low. This allows using the µTX2FX in a time sensitive network which needs to support IEEE
1588 PTP or IEEE 802.1AS gPTP traffic.
