Description
The AT-FS20x and AT-FS202SC/FSx Series Fast Ethernet Switches include
the following models:
AT-FS201
AT-FS202
AT-FS202SC/FS1
The AT-FS20x and AT-FS202SC/FSx Series Switches are designed to extend
the distance of your network by converting Fast Ethernet data between
twisted pair cabling and either multimode or single-mode fiber optic cabling.
These dual-port switches can also be used to improve the performance of your
network by dividing it into smaller, more manageable segments.
Each switch features a 100Base-FX fiber optic port and a 10Base-T/
100Base-TX twisted pair port. The fiber optic port has either a SC or ST
connector and a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) to
100 kilometers (62 miles), depending on the model. The twisted pair port has a
RJ-45 connector with a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
The fiber optic port operates at 100 Mbps, while the twisted pair port operates
at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Both ports feature half- and full-duplex operation.
AT-FS20x and AT-FS202SC/FSx Series Switches can be installed on a desktop
or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These switches are easy to install and do not
require software configuration or management.
