2 Hardware Description
Product Overview
The Converter is primarily designed for network or data
installations that require the migration of cable media
between conventional coppers based wiring to Fiber
based installations. These Converters have been
specifically designed to support both a RJ-45 jack and a
ST or SC fiber optic connector. This allows it to connect
10Base-T network to the 10Base-FL (fiber) networks.
In addition, this Converter features an MDI/MDI-X
crossover “push button” switch for direct connection to a
workstation, switch or hub. This allows the network
manager freedom to configure between crossover and
straight through when establishing a connection between
RJ-45 ports. This Converter can create potential distances
of up to 12km (39600feet) with single mode fiber between
2 networking nodes.
