10/100/1000T TO 1000SX/LX SFP MEDIA CONVERTER

2 Hardware Description

2.1 Product Overview

The 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX (SFP) Media Converter is primarily

designed for larger workgroups, which demand higher speed and broader bandwidth

and requires migration and expansion from copper-based Gigabit triple speed to Fiber-

based Gigabit networks.

It features an automatic MDI/MDI-X on the RJ-45 port that allows for direct connection

to a workstation, switch or hub. Now, the network manager does not need to worry

about the cable configuration (crossover or straight through) when establishing

connection between RJ-45 ports.

It features both an RJ-45 jack and an SFP slot which allows it to easily integrate a

1000Base-T network with a 1000Base-SX/LX fiber network.

If the LFS DIP switch is set to ON, the Link Fault Signaling function is enabled. If the

copper link is down, the fiber port will be disabled by the Converter. If the fiber port

loses signal, the copper port will be disabled by the Converter. These two types of

disabling actions will enable the spanning tree protocols of the neighboring switch to go

into effect.

The Media converter is specifically designed to offer fiber advantages for mission-

critical networks like Telco/ISP backbones, cable operators, banking and enterprise

networks. It can reduce network downtime and increase Quality of Service levels.
