By utilizing lower cost 850nm optio-electronics, the 10/100BASE-SX converter provides compatibility with legacy 10BASE-FL devices while providing the lowest possible cost solution for fiber installation of up to 60 meters (100BASE-SX). This makes it ideal for building backbone and horizontal cabling applications where cost and 10/100 auto-negotiation are critical.

Extend Network Distances:

Used in pairs, this media converter can extend distances between two twisted pair switches or a switch and a server up to 60 meters over multimode fiber (100BASE-SX).

Connect Remote Devices:

A single 10/100 SX Media Converter can be used to connect remote devices as well. Using one media converter, a switch with a copper port can be connected to a switch or any other 10/100BASE-SX compliant device with an existing fiber interface.

Features

AutoCross™

Automatically detects and configures the twisted pair port on the converter to the correct MDI or MDI-X configuration.

Auto-Negotiation (802.3u)

Allows devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link.

Link Pass Through

Link Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal.

Efficient and Reliable

The 10/100 SX Media Converter operates easily under heavy traffic loads without generating excess heat; meaning a failure-prone internal fan is unnecessary.
