10/100 and
10/100TX to 100FX Ethernet Media Converters
miConverter 10/100 and miConverter 10/100
The miniature
Plus are rate-switching 10/100 UTP copper to 100BASE-FX
fiber media converters. The
effective fiber connectivity from Ethernet switches to diagnostic
equipment, desktop and laptop computers.
They can be powered by a computer's USB port using
the optional USB Power Adaptor Cable, which reduces
the module's weight and eliminates the need to tether the
miConverter to an electrical outlet that provide cost-effective
fiber network extension and connectivity.
The UTP port can auto-negotiate by detecting the speed and
duplex-mode of the connected device. Upon connection to the
UTP device, the UTP port speed adjusts to either 10Mbps or
100Mbps, and the duplex-mode adjusts to either Full-Duplex
or Half-Duplex. Auto-crossover enables the connection to
workstations (MDI port) or hub/switches (MDI-X port) without
requiring a crossover cable.
The 100BASE-FX fiber port operates in Full-Duplex mode.
Models are available for single-mode or multimode fiber
with ST or SC fiber connectors. Multimode fiber models
support distances up to 5km and single-mode fiber models
support distances up to 120km. Single-fiber models feature
Bi-Directional fiber and support distances up to 40km.
miConverter 10/100 Plus features DIP-switches for the
The
configuration of the UTP port and four different Link Modes
(fault-detection capabilities). The DIP-switches allow manual
configuration of the UTP speed and duplex mode while the Link
Modes assist in the identification and isolation of link failures.
The available modes are Link Segment, Link Propagate,
Remote Fault Detection and Symmetrical Fault Detection.
Diagnostic data is provided through LED indicators that assist
in network installation and maintenance. The LEDs report the
availability of power, port activity and link status, speed and
duplex modes of the UTP port.
The external AC power supply is available in US, Universal
and Country/Region specific models. Country/Region specific
models feature optional interchangeable connectors, allowing
for compatibility with electrical outlet types found around the
world.
miConverter 10/100 and miConverter 10/100 Plus can
The
miConverter 18-Module Power Chassis
be mounted in the
to consolidate individual modules into a rack-mount form
factor that can be deployed where multiple fiber optic links
are distributed from UTP switch equipment. The chassis
powers converter modules with barrel-style DC connectors,
and is available with a single universal AC, 24VDC or 48VDC
internal power supply. This compact, high-density chassis is
1.5 rack units high, and can be mounted in a standard 19" or
23" equipment rack.
