User's Guide
The Ethernet converter EDX100 is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet media converter, which
offers an economical copper to fiber optic signal conversion.
As Ethernet has evolved into the most widely implemented physical and link layer protocol
today, more and more services are delivered on Ethernet infra-structure. As bandwidth
demand is growing, Fast Ethernet to the customer satisfies today needs for broadband
access. Fiber optic connections allow long-haul Ethernet-links to spread Metro Ethernet
services into a wide area.
EDX100 is an easy to install and easy to operate device, which saves costs and energy.
In case of signal loss of fiber optic port, an alarm-output is triggered for external use, so
failures can easily be detected and problem-location is quickly done.
As part of arcutronix Multi Service Platform (axMSP) the EDX100 can be housed in small
footprint single-slot housing or 19'' rack to achieve high density on small footprint.

  • Page 2 User’s Guide Covered Products The EDX100 product family offers 2 interfaces to the customer. One copper Fast Ethernet interface (10/100BaseT) and a fiber-optic Ethernet interface (100BaseFX). While the copper interface is always the same (RJ45), the fiber-optic port can vary to fit the unit in different application scenarios.

  • Page 3: Application Example

    User’s Guide Application Example The EDX100 can be used to bridge long distances, thus enhancing copper Ethernet networks by using a fiber optic line between branch offices or to achieve FE-rollout for customers. Each EDX model is a 3U card that can be either plugged into a 19”...

  • Page 4: Connectors, Indicators And Controls

    Connectors, Indicators and Controls Front Panel The front panel of the EDX100 does give access to the copper Fast Ethernet port as well as the fiber-optic interface. Three slightly different variants are available, but the ports and LED indicators are always the same. As an example, the EDX100-SFP is shown.

  • Page 5: Unit Setup

    User’s Guide Unit Setup The Ethernet converter EDX100 is a “plug’n’play” unit, which needs no special setup or knowledge. Installation in single-slot housing (SHX) or system rack (SRX) must be done according the specification of these devices. After installation of the EDX100 in the housing, attach fiber optic cable and CAT5 (better 5e) cable to interfaces.
