Appendix A

The FRM-1000 line card is an Ethernet Fiber Media Converter that is compliant with IEE802.3z 1000BASE-TX

or Gigabit Ethernet and 1000Base-SX/LX Gigabit Fiber. One RJ-45 connector is provided for connection to either

MDI-X (To PC) or MDI (To HUB) equipment. Utilizing Auto MDI/MDIX allows all UTP connections to be made

using only a common straight-through UTP cable. A unique feature of the FRM-1000 converter is the use of a

common PCB card which may either be used as a standalone converter (FMC series) or placed in the FRM220 rack.

This converter may force full or half duplex mode on the fiber port.
