Fast Ethernet Media Converters
Quick Install Guide
For use with the PowerBlade Chassis
Overview
The AT-PB100 Series Fast Ethernet Media Converters are hot swappable
modules designed for the PowerBlade Chassis. These media converters extend
the distance of your network by interconnecting twisted pair and fiber optic
cabling. Each module features a 100Base-TX twisted pair port with an RJ-45
connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). Each
unit also has a 100Base-FX fiber optic port with a maximum operating range
of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) to 100 kilometers (62 miles), depending on the
