Fast Ethernet Media ConverterThe 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 100Mbps 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 bandwidth. An override switch provides total manual control over the half/full-duplex operation.
The fiber port of converter operates at 1300 nm and uses SC, ST, VF-45, or MT-RJ connectors. Multimode models that support distances up to 2 km and single-mode models that support distances up to 15 km are available.
