The LANart rack-mountable FXC1x15T series multi-port media converters,
FXC1115T and FXC1215T, allow the network administrator of a large and
complex network to extend the distances between multiple 100BASE-TX
devices and multiple 100BASE-FX devices.

FXC1115T

Provides six (6) independent media converter connections between 100BASE­TX signals over twisted pair copper (RJ-45 connectors) and 100BASE-FX
signals over fiber-optic cable (RX receive and TX transmit ST connectors).

FXC1215T

Provides twelve (12) independent media converter connections between
100BASE-TX signals over twisted pair copper (RJ-45 connectors) and 100BASE­FX signals over fiber-optic cable (RX receive and TX transmit ST connectors).

NOTE: The multi-port media converter AutoCross™ feature allows either
straight-through or crossover twisted-pair copper cable to be used when
connecting to 100BASE-TX devices. AutoCross™ determines the
characteristics of cable connections to the media converter port and then
automatically configures the port to
link up.

FXC1X15T IN THE NETWORK

Each media converter port in the FXC1x15T multi-port media converter
operates independently over one isolated twisted-pair copper/fiber-optic
cable link. The media converter port receives and transmits network
signals in either full-duplex or half-duplex, depending upon the network
devices to which the media converter port is attached, and is designed
to work effectively with 10/100 autonegotiating ports to provide reliable
100 Mbps fiber links.
