USER GUIDE
Ethernet Over Fiber
4RU Plug-in Card
10/100/1000M ETHERNET
Introduction
The RLH 10/100/1000 Ethernet 4RU Interface Card converts a
copper 10Base-T or 100/1000Base-TX to a 1000Base-SX/LX
fiber optic transmission signal of either multimode or single-
mode. The cards transmit the data signals over fiber optic
cable which allow for network extension over long distances,
and provide electrical isolation between both ends of the
network.
The Ethernet over fiber card may be used as a system, with a
card at each end, or the fiber optic cable may be connected
directly to any 1000Base-SX/LX compatible device.
This hardened, rugged system is covered by our Exclusive
Unconditional Lifetime Warranty.
