FlexPoint™ 10FL/2

10BASE-FL Fiber to 10BASE-2 Coax Media Converter

The FlexPoint 10FL/2 is a modular 10BASE-FL fiber to
10BASE-2 coax media converter. The FlexPoint 10FL/2
connects and extends coax segments via fiber , and a p air of
10FL/2 converters connect two coax segments via fiber.

No manual configuration is required with the plug-and-play
FlexPoint 10FL/2. Connect the fiber and coax cables and the
installation is complete.

The fiber port operates at 850nm or 1310nm and features ST
connectors. Multimode fiber models support distances of up
to 5km, and single-mode fiber model support a distance of
30km.

The FlexPoint 10FL/2 features a BNC connector supporting
50 ohm cabling with distances up to 185m. Per IEEE 802.3
standard, up to 30 workstations can be attached to the coax
segment. A termination switch provides a convenient 50 ohm
cable termination.

Descriptions of the LED indicators are provided on the label for
easy in-the-field installation and maintenance. The LEDs report
the availability of power, port activity and link st atus, collision
and jabbers.

FlexPoint modules can be mounted utilizing optional wall­mounting hardware or with DIN-rail mounting brackets. They
can also be rack-mounted in a 5-Module shelf or in a high­density 14-Module, power-redundant Powered Chassis.

FlexPoint modules installed in the 5-Module shelf or used as
standalone devices can be powered by an external AC to DC
power adapter, or through the 5VDC chassis connector.
Standalone modules can also be powered by attaching an
external DC power supply (18-60VDC). When used in the
14-Module power-redundant Powered Chassis with any
combination of AC and DC power supplies, the installed
modules are powered via the 5VDC chassis connector.

The wide variety of FlexPoint mounting and power options
provide flexible upgrade paths as network requirements change
and grow.

Simple, dependable and flexible. For over a decade, FlexPoint
media converters have been providing reliable fiber connectivity
in Enterprise and mission-critical networks around the world.

A pair of FlexPoint 10FL/2 media converters (A) enable two
separate 10BASE-2 coax segments to be connected via fiber ,
extending network connectivity. A FlexPoint 10FL/T (B) provides
connection to a UTP switch and extends the network via fiber
to a FlexPoint 10FL/2 connecting multiple workstations on a
10BASE-2 network segment. In both cases, multimode or
single-mode fiber can be used. Network connectivity can be
extended up to 30km using single-mode fiber.
