Key Feature
FT-7 / FT-8 Series
The PLANET Fast Ethernet 100Base-FX fiber to 100Base-TX shielded twisted pair (STP) converter. It
supports selectable for half-duplex and full-duplex operations and supports a variety of fiber options. The
converter auto-adapts to the highest level of performance supported by the device connected to the STP
port. When the device is a switch or a workstation that supports full duplex, the converter adapts to the
full-duplex mode and provides an effective 200Mbps bandwidth. When the connected device is a hub or a
workstation that supports only half duplex, the converter adapts to the half-duplex mode and provides the
nominal 100Mbps band-width. An override switch provides total manual control over the half/full-duplex
operation, in fiber-optic interface (FT-801/802). The fiber port of converter operates at 1310 nm and uses
SC, ST, VF-45, or MT-RJ connectors. Multi-mode models that support distances up to 2 km and single-
mode models that support distances up to 15/20/35/50 km are available.
