Introduction

Product Overview

The 10Base-T to 10Base-FL 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. It come with the
option of internal or external power supplies. These features allow
them to efficiently connect 10Base-T networks to 10Base-FL (fiber)
networks.

button” switch for direct connection to either a workstation, switch
or hub. This allows the network manager the freedom to configure
between crossover and straight through when establishing
connection between RJ-45 ports.

(39600feet) with single mode fiber between a LAN switch, hub or a
