With the Link Fault Pass Through function enabled (optional with switch LFP), TP port and FX port of the same converter will inform each other the fault link status so that when one side of the link fails, the other side will force the link to shut down as soon as noticed. The procedure will be illustrated as shown below.
1310nm short wave laser on single-mode fiber. Transmits and receives data on different fibers Note: You have to use either two MC100CM connectors or two MC110CS connectors to cooperate. 2.2 WDM Fast Ethernet Media Converter 1. The SC fiber connector of MC111CS transmits data by 1550nm short wave laser while receives data by 1310nm short wave laser on one single-mode fiber.

2. The SC fiber connector of MC112CS transmits data by 1310nm short wave laser while receives data by 1550nm short wave laser on one single-mode fiber. Transmits and receives data on the same fiber Note: You have to use MC111CS and MC112CS at the same time to cooperate.
1. Place two converters back to back between the following end devices. Note: You should use two MC100CM Media Converters or two MC110CS Media Converters, or one MC111CS and one MC112CS to expand your network. Error will occur when you use other ways.
3.1 Installation Procedure Use a fiber cable to connect two converters, or connect a converter with a 100Base-FX Device. 1. Connection of a Converter and a 10/100Base-TX Device (HUB or Switch). • Make sure that the length of the Cat.5 twisted pair cable between the 10/100Base-TX device and the converter is less than 100 meters.
