Features » Bring fiber to the desktop more economically than fiber NICs. » Four power options. » Convert 10-/100-Mbps copper to duplex or single-strand 100-Mbps fiber, autonegotiating for speed on the copper side. » Single-Mode Long versions support distances up to 49.7 miles (80 km). » Operational from -13 to +158° F. » Include clips for mounting on DIN rails.
Go the distance with fiber. The converters using multimode fiber support distances of up to 984.2 feet (300 m) or 1.2 miles (2 km)—enough distance for most LAN applications. For more extensive campus applications, choose Single-Mode or Single-Mode, Single-Strand models for long-distance runs of up to 6.2, 12.4, 24.8, or 43.5 miles (10, 20, 40, or 70 km). More power to you. Power Tray (LHC018A-AC-R2) filled with Industiral MultiPower Media Converters.
Technically Speaking (continued from page 3) or 100BASE-FX. The distance limitations for the 100BASE-T4 standard is the same as 100BASE-TX: 100 m (328 ft.). Why replace 10BASE-T Ethernet? Fast Ethernet hasn’t come close to completely replacing 10BASE-T Ethernet, but in some cases, 10BASE-T simply can’t keep up with new multimedia applications and large files that have become a large part of many corporate networks. And with increased network density, data throughput suffers greatly.
Technically Speaking (continued from page 4) First of all, Gigabit Ethernet is a true Ethernet standard and is compatible with both 10- and 100-Mbps Ethernet. Because it uses the same frame formats and flow-control methods as earlier Ethernet versions, networks readily recognize it. The primary difference is that Gigabit Ethernet almost always runs in full-duplex mode, rather than the half-duplex mode commonly found in 10- and 100-Mbps Ethernet.
Technically Speaking (continued from page 5) Gigabit Ethernet makes it possible to blast packets through even the most congested links. Gigabit Ethernet can be used to build enormous switched networks and move traffic through them at blinding speed. It’s a perfect choice for delay-sensitive applications such as voice and video. Gigabit Ethernet makes sense when you’re using switched Ethernet or switched Fast Ethernet, and when a bottleneck forms above the LAN-based hubs.
