Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing the MC100CM/MC110CS Fast Ethernet
Media Converters or the MC111CS/MC112CS WDM Fast Ethernet
Media Converters!

1.1 Overview of the Converter

MC100CM and MC110CS are Fast Ethernet Media Converters.
MC111CS and MC112CS are WDM Fast Ethernet Media Converters,
which adopt WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology
that increases the information carrying capacity of fiber via multiplex
transmit and receive signals at different wavelengths on single strand
cable. You can save half cabling cost when you use MC111CS and
MC112CS instead of your original dual fiber converter.
The converter mediates between a 10/100Base-TX segment and a
100Base-FX segment. It is primarily designed for large, higher
speed/bandwidth demanding workgroups that require expansion of
the Fast Ethernet network.
The converter also features the LFP (Link Fault Pass through)
function, and for its procedure illustrates, please refer to the section 1.5.3.
Note:
This media converter can also be powered by 5VDC adapter.
