Introduction
This Tyco Electronics/AMP Netconnect auto-negotiating Fast
Ethernet Media Converter translates between 10/100Base-TX
copper and 100Base-FX fiber cabling. The converter can be either
rack mounted in a 19” Chassis Unit or used as a standalone unit.
The Media Converter enables you to extend the distance of your
10/100BaseTX Ethernet network up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode
fiber or up to 30 kilometers for single-mode fiber. SC, ST and MT-RJ
optical multimode fiber connectors are available.
This range of media converters also includes a WDM ( Wavelength
Division Multiplexing ) Converter. This has exactly the same
functionality as the standard converters but the WDM technology
that combines the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) lines onto a single
fiber, which reduces cabling cost.
A pair of WDM converters ( wavelength 1310 and 1550 nm ) should
be installed at either end of the single fiber cable.
