1. Introduction

LevelOne media converters are Fast Ethernet 10/100Base-TX to
100Base-FX and 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX
converters to provide the flexibility required in network integration.
The TX port auto-sense connection speed, auto-negotiates half/full
duplex modes and auto-selects MDIX media type. The fiber
connectors come with multimode or singlemode, SC, ST or SFP
connector to provide necessary connection interface and distance
capabilities.
LevelOne have designed 19” racks to organize media converters the
smart way by providing a single power supply. With the
Plug-and-play technology, the converter is easy to set-up and run.
For simple, cost-effective network design, LevelOne converter
series is the perfect solution to bridge the complex network
infrastructure.
