From the Manufacturer By utilizing lower cost 850nm optio-electronics, the 10/100BASE-SX converter provides compatibility with legacy 10BASE-FL devices while providing the lowest possible cost solution for fiber installation of up to 300 meters (100BASE-SX). This makes it ideal for building backbone and horizontal cabling applications where cost and 10/100 auto-negotiation are critical. Used in pairs, this media converter can extend distances between two twisted pair switches or a switch and a server up to 300 meters over multimode fiber (100BASE-SX). A single 10/100 SX Media Converter can be used to connect remote devices as well. Using one media converter, a switch with a copper port can be connected to a switch or any other 10/100BASE-SX compliant device with an existing fiber interface.Features and BenefitsAutomatically detects and configures port to correct configuration
Automatic configuration to achieve best mode of operations over a link
Allows media converter to monitor both fiber and copper ports for loss of signal
Extends networks over greater distances
Lifetime warranty
