Features- Operates under heavy traffic loads without excess heat, so there is no need for a failure-prone internal fan.- Round trip delay of only 40 bit times—far below the Class II rating of 92 bit times.- Auto-Negotiation (802.3u)- Allows devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link.- AutoCross™- Automatically detects and configures the twisted pair port on the converter to the correct MDI or MDI-X configuration.- Link Pass Through- Link Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal.- Far End Fault (FEF)- A troubleshooting feature that is generally used in conjunction with Link Pass Through to notify both end devices of a loss of link.- Automatic Link Restoration- Transition Networks's converters will automatically re-establish link in all network conditions.- Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)- Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed.- The converters will also automatically re-establish link when connected to two 10/100 auto-negotiating switches if link is lost. With other manufacturers' converters the user must intervene to re-establish link.ApplicationsExtend Network DistanceUsed in pairs, this media converter can extend distances between two twisted pair switches or a switch and a server up to 2 km over multimode fiber, or up to 120 km over single mode fiber.Connect Remote DevicesUsing one media converter, a switch with a copper port can be connected to a switch with an existing fiber interface.
