1. Introduction
LevelOne media converters are Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX to
100Base-FX and 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX converters to
provide the flexibility required in network integration. The TX port
auto-sense connection speed, auto-negotiates half/full duplex
modes and auto-selects MDIX media type. The fiber connectors
come with multimode or singlemode, SC, ST or SFP connector to
provide necessary connection interface and distance capabilities.
LevelOne have designed 19” racks to organize media converters the
smart way by providing a single power supply. With the
Plug-and-play technology, the converter is easy to set-up and run.
For simple, cost-effective network design, LevelOne converter
series is the perfect solution to bridge the complex network
infrastructure.
