EDX100 V1.3 1
Short Description
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.

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.
A SFP-based EDX100 is available to give maximum choice of wavelength and distances. This
device (EDX100-SFP) can be host and operate all available 155Mbit-SFPs, which are according
the SFP Multi-supplier-Agreement (MSA).
In addition to the EDX100-SFP some preconfigured converter are available, offering different
wavelength, distances and connector options.
Please see table below for details.

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” rack system chassis for
POP application, or a
stand-alone chassis as
customer premises
equipment.

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.
1) Line port: Fiber Optic Transmitter (SFP), RX
2) Line port: Fiber Optic Receiver (SFP), TX
3) FDX/COL: On = Full duplex mode; Blink = Collision
4) FX: On = 100BaseFX ok; Blink = Data on FO port
5) ON: On = Power On
6) 100: On = I/F link with 100BaseTX
7) LNK: On = 10/100BaseT ok; Blink = Data on I/F
8) I/F port: 10/100BaseT

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.
A DIP-switch is placed on the PCB to configure basic behavior, as
- Auto-Negotiation of Copper port
- Speed on Fiber port
- Link Pass Through (LPT)

General Safety Precautions
Transport, Installation and Operation
Avoid excessive vibration and shocks.
Avoid contact with water, dust, and dirt.
Avoid excessive direct sunlight.
Ensure sufficient cooling.
