General Description
KC-10FM Ethernet media converter is designed to be a
connection interface between a 10BASE-T Ethernet UTP
cable and 10BASE-FL fiber cable. It features a RJ-45
connector and a pair of ST fiber optic connectors.
The converter complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and
10BASE-FL standard and supports a UTP cable up to 100
meters and a fiber optic cable up to 2000 meters with no
increasing on the hop count in the network.
