1 10/100 Ethernet Converter P/N – 200750-xxxx/200910-xxxx
Overview
The PRIZM 10/100 Ethernet Converter provides completely transparent media conversion between
10/100 Mbps, Full/Half Duplex Twisted Pair and fiber optic Ethernet. Two units are required to form a
complete data link. Twisted Pair Ethernet data is converted to fiber at one end of the link, and then
converted back to Twisted Pair at the other end to provide a seamless Ethernet connection. The
converters allow negotiation between both ends of the link to the highest commonly supported data rate.
A 1x9 fiber optic transceiver module with a single-mode source laser (typically 1310 or 1550nm
wavelength) and either an integral or external wave division multiplexer (WDM) are used to allow for
single fiber operation. It should be noted that the boards at either end of the link are functionally
identical, however the optical transceiver on each board must have a different transmit wavelength than
the transceiver at the opposite end of the link when single fiber operation is desired.
The Ethernet converters are supplied in two basic form factors. The first (200750-xxxx) is for spaceconfined applications and requires +5VDC. The dimensions of this version of the converters are 2” wide
x 3” long x .7” high. Six mounting holes are supplied for ease of installation. This unit provides a 2x5
interface connector that can be either soldered to directly, or populated with a standard data header for
easy wiring. In addition to four pins for Ethernet twisted pair data (TD+/-, RD+/-), the header contains
four pins for the monitoring of status signals (data traffic and negotiated data speed at both the twisted
pair and fiber interface). The final two positions on the connector are reserved for supplied +5VDC (.5
Amp max) and digital ground. The +5VDC input to the board is unfused, but the board is protected by a
reversed diode, D1 in case power is accidentally reversed to the board.
The second form factor (200910-xxxx) is slightly larger: 2.6” wide x 3.5” long x 0.9” high. Four
mounting holes are supplied on this board. This form factor is currently supplied in both +12VDC and
+24VDC versions. These units are supplied with an industry standard RJ-45 connector for the Ethernet
interface as well as individual LED indicators to display the state of the four status signals described
previously. A typical block diagram for these form factors is shown in Figure 1 below.
