Congratulations on your purchase of the 100M RJ-45 to
Fiber Converter. This Converter supports two RJ-45
connectors for DTE and HUB connections, and pro-
vides a cost-effective solution for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
twisted pair and fiber optic media. The fiber optic con-
nectivity helps increasing segment lengths of networks
to 2 km, and the flexibility of Ethernet cabling installa-
tions by connecting a 100BASE-TX twisted pair device
to a 100BASE-FX compliant port.

Specifications
Full-Duplex Mode
This converter works as full-duplex mode only if those
connected switches are configurable and manageable as
fixed speed of 100Mbps and full-duplex mode.
Therefore, if you want to operate this converter as full-
duplex mode, you need to connect to the switches config-
ured at full-duplex mode.
vIf the Full/Half LED of the connected switch does not
indicate as full-duplex mode, that means it is working
at half-duplex mode now.
