Product Features
Rate Conversion
The media converter allows connection of 10Mb/s terminal devices on a
10Base-T legacy Ethernet copper network to 100Mb/s terminal devices on a
100Base-TX fast Ethernet copper network and/or to 100Mb/s terminal devices
on a 100Base-FX fast Ethernet fiber network.
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the SBFTF10xx-10x media converter to
automatically configure itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation
over a link. The media converter broadcasts its speed (10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s)
and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the other devices and negotiates the
best mode of operation. Auto-Negotiation allows quick and easy installation
because the optimal link is established automatically.
A scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device is
a case where the user may want to disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance,
the mode of operation will drop to the least common denominator between
the two devices (e.g.: 10 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature gives the
user the ability to force the connection to the desired speed and duplex mode
of operation.
AutoCross™
When the AutoCross feature is activated, it allows either straight-through
(MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) copper cables to be used when connecting to
10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices. AutoCross determines the characteristics of
the connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless if
the copper cable is MDI or MDI-X configuration. (Transition networks
recommends leaving the device in the default “enable” mode.)
Link Pass-Through
The Link Pass-Through feature allows the media converter to monitor both the
fiber and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event of a loss of
an RX signal (1), the media converter will automatically disable the TX
(transmit) signal (2), thus, “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end
device is automatically notified of the link loss (4), which prevents the loss of
valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.

Distance Extension
The SBFTF10xx-10x media converter segments 10Base-T copper Ethernet
and/or 100Base-TX copper fast Ethernet and 100Base-FX fiber fast Ethernet
collision domains.
In a half-duplex Ethernet or fast Ethernet environment, the SBFTF10xx-10x
media converter extends network distances by segmenting collision domains
so that the 5-Segment Rule (see page 10) or the 512-Bit Rule (see pages 9 and
10) applies separately to each collision domain.
In a full-duplex Ethernet or fast Ethernet environment, the SBFTF10xx-10x
media converter extends network distances to the physical cable limitations
imposed by the selected copper and fiber cables (see pages 1 and 2).
Congestion Reduction
The SBFTF10xx-10x media converter does not forward collision signals or
error packets from one collision domain to another, improving baseline
network performance. In addition, the media converter filters packets
destined for local devices, also reducing network congestion.

Half-Duplex Network
512-Bit Rule - 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX
Use the 512-Bit Rule to calculate the 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX half-duplex
collision domain.
In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the
round trip delay limitations of each fast Ethernet collision domain. (A collision
domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g. a terminal,
switch, or router.)
The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by
calculating the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision
domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.
To calculate the round-trip delay for a collision domain:
1. Find the collision domain, i.e. the longest
path between any two terminal devices
(e.g., terminal, switch, and/or router).
2. Calculate the round-trip delay in bit-
times for each length of cable.
4. Determine the bit-time values for each
device (see table to the right).
3. Add the bit-time values for each length of
cable and the bit-times for each device.
NOTE: The 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain.
100Base-TX Twisted-Pair Example
In the example below, the SBFTF10xx-10x 2-Port bridging media converter
acts as a switch. In this case, the collision domain bound by the media
converter on one end and a terminal on the other.
100 meters TP
cross-over
= 111BT
media converter
= 50BT
Since the total of the bit-times in this example is less than 512 (see chart
below), the path is good.
Sum of the bit-times for the example collision domain:
Media converter = 50.0 BT
100 m TP cable (100m x 1.11 BT/m) = 111.0 BT
Two Class II hubs (2 x 92) = 184.0 BT
Two 10 m TP cables (2 x 10m x 1.11 BT/m) = 22.2 BT
Terminal = 50.0 BT
Total = 417.2 BT
10 meters TP

= 11.1BT

Class I hub 140 BT
Class II hub 92 BT

Half-Duplex Network -- Continued
100Base-TX Fiber Example
The drawing to the right
illustrates a collision domain
where two media converters
are connected via fiber cable.
Since the total of the bit-times
in this example is less than
512 (50BT + 400BT + 50BT =
500BT) the path is good.
5-Segment Rule - 10Base-T
Use the 5-Segment Rule to calculate the 10Base-T half-duplex collision
domain.
The 5-Segment rule states that a transmission path of a collision domain can
consist of no more than 5 segments. A “collision domain” and a “segment”
are defined as follows:
A collision domain is the longest path in a 10Base-T network between any
two terminal devices, e.g. a terminal, switch, or router. The SBFTF10xx-10x
media converter is also a terminal device.
A segment is a cable connection
between any two network interfaces
within a collision domain.
10Base-T Twisted-Pair Example
The example to the right illustrates
applying the 5-Segment Rule. The cable
between each network device (media
converter, Hub, or Terminal) is
numbered as a “segment”.
Note that the longest transmission path
(from the media converter at the top to
the terminal at the bottom) is 5 segments.
Therefore, the network in this example
complies with the 5-Segment Rule.
