Chapter 1 Overview

1.1 Introduction

The ADAM-6541 is an industrial grade converter designed to convert
Ethernet network (10/100Base-TX) to fiber network (100Base-FX). It
transparently converts Ethernet signals into optic signals. The advantages
of Fiber optic are wide bandwidth, anti-EMI and suitable for long-dis-
tance transmission. Therefore, ADAM-6541 is an ideal solution for "fiber
to building" application in central offices or local sites.
The ADAM-6541 can be mounted in the following three ways: DIN Rail,
panel, piggyback mounting. +10~30 V
plied over the terminal block. In addition, the operating temperature
ranges from -10 ~ 65° C. The above functions make the ADAM-6541 a
stable and reliable industrial grade converter.
High-Speed Transmissions
The ADAM-6541 supports MDI/MDI-X of auto detection. You will not
need to crossover. A switch controller that can automatically sense trans-
mission speed (10/100 Mbps) will be included. Both Ethernet and fiber
ports have memory buffers that support store-and-forward mechanism; it
assures proper data transmission.
Flexible Mounting
The ADAM-6541 is extremely compact and can be mounted in three dif-
ferent ways: DIN rail, panel and piggyback mounting.
Easy Troubleshooting
The ADAM-6541 provides three LED indicators: Power, Full/Link, 10/
100Mbps, which easily let you troubleshoot.
Robust Enough for Industrial Environments
The ADAM-6541 can normally work from -10° C to 65° C and accepts
wide unregulated voltage range from +10 ~ 30 VDC. Besides, it also pro-
vides 3,000 VDC surge protection (EFT) to protect it from over-voltage
damages. It is suitable for any harsh operating environment.
