2 Hardware Description
Product Overview
The 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX switching media
Converter is primarily designed for larger workgroups,
demanding higher speed and broader bandwidth, and
requiring migration and expansion from the copper-based
Gigabit to Fiber-based Gigabit network.
It features an automatic MDI/MDI-X on the RJ-45 port that
allows for direct connection to a workstation, switch or hub.
Now, the network manager does not need to worry about
the cable configuration (crossover or straight through)
when establishing connection between RJ-45 ports.
It features both a RJ-45 jack and a choice of fiber optic
connectors which allows it to easily integrate a 1000BaseT network to a 1000Base-SX/LX fiber network.
This Converter supports distances of up to 220 meters for
multi-mode fiber, 10 kilometers for regular single mode
fiber, and up to 80 kilometers for long haul single mode
fiber between networking nodes.
