Introduction

The Raven Series Fast Fiber Advanced Media & Rate Converters

are standalone units that can be used alone or in a 10-slot rackmount

chassis to connect networks with 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX

cabling.

These advanced media & rate converters extend the cabling

distance of 100Base-FX network up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode

fiber or 30 kilometers for single mode fiber.

Figure 1-1. The Raven Series Fast Fiber Media Converter Module

Each converter is available with one SC, ST, MT-RJ, VF-45 multi-

mode fiber connector or SC single-mode fiber connector, plus one

Ethernet RJ-45 port (Auto MDI/MDIX) for your 100Base-TX copper

cable connection. DIP-switches allow for setting the operation mode

for UTP, Fiber and link loss forwarding function.

The WDM Converter

100Base-FX cabling, and incorporates WDM technology that allows

a grouping of different services on existing optical fibers inside. The

WDM technology makes transmit (TX) and receive (RX) lines onto a

converts signals between 10/100Base-TX and

1

single fiber, which reduces half of the cabling cost.

WDM converters must be installed in pairs with one 1310nm

wavelength converter at one end of the single fiber cable and one

1550nm wavelength converter at the other end. The fiber cabling can

extend the connectivity distance up to 20 kilometers.
