2 Hardware Description
Product Overview
The Converter is primarily designed for larger
workgroups, demanding more speed and bandwidth,
and requiring expansion of the Fast Ethernet network.
It features a MDI/MDI-X crossover “push button”
switch for direct connection to the workstation, switch
or hub. Now the network manager does not need to
worry about the cable configuration (crossover or
straight through) when establishing a connection
between RJ-45 ports.
The Converter features both a RJ-45 jack, and a ST,
SC, or WDM fiber optic connector that allows it to
connect a 100Base-TX (copper) network to the
100Base-FX (fiber) network.
Its features Auto-Negotiation support which allows the
Converter to support connection with leading NWay
