The fast media converters transparently connect one type of media, or cabling, to another – typically copper to fiber. Available in stand-alone, modular chassis-based, or PCI powered configurations. By bridging the gap between legacy copper infrastructures and fiber growth.

Fast Ethernet to Fiber Media Converters characters:

IEEE 802.3 compatible 10BASE-T UTP or 100BASE-TX to Fast Ethernet fiber converter. Supports multimodle, single-mode, and single-fiber with different reach option.
UTP port supports programmable 10/100 Half or Full-Duplex auto-negotiation with crossover options.
Supports jumbo frame of up to 1916 bytes.
Hot-swappable with remote converter power dying gasp alarm.
Supports OAM sub-layer which confirms to TS-1000 specification from TTC (Telecommunication Technology Committee).
Remote converter configuration and status monitoring using in-band OAM frame and not consuming any IP resource and link bandwidth.
Sends and receives OAM frames to center or remote side.
Loopback mode to support loopback packet from center side to remote side.
Programmable link fault pass-through (LFP) or remote fault detection (RFD) function.
Link transparency to indicate the link down from link partner with LED display for immediate visual status of each port.
SFP internal ID and status monitoring capability.
Dual power supply option with power on/off alarm.
Advanced Features: Link Pass-Through, Far-End Fault, Auto-MDIX and Loopback
Extend the transmission distance to several kilometers or hundred kilometers.
Fast media converters make an invisible component in the physical layer “visible” to network managers; allowing more efficient troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance.

Applications

1. apply to ready to rise to 10M extended enterprise network bandwidth 100M
2. Telecommunications
3. Local area network
4. widely used for computer data transmission network to meet a variety of business needs
5. apply to the campus broadband network, broadcasting network and intelligent residential broadband fiber-to-floor fiber to the home data transfer
6. with the switches and other computer network equipment can be combined to form-chain, star, ring-type network and other computer networks.

Ingellen’s fast Ethernet media converter provide an economical path towards extending the distance of an existing network, extending the life of non-fiber based equipment, or extending the distance between two like devices.
