2.3.3 Topology of a Combined Electrical / Optical SINEC L2/L2 FO

Network

Using a SINEC L2 RS-485 repeater with an SF optical repeater adapter,

an electrical L2 network (RS-485) can be connected to the active star

coupler of an optical L2 network (see Fig 2.8). It is also possible to connect

two electrical L2 networks optically by means of repeaters with optical

repeater adapters (for interconnecting optical links, see Fig. 2.9). In these

optical point-to-point links, no active star coupler is required.
