In Detail

The FMC-10/100 is a 10/100Base Ethernet to 100Base-FX fibre media converter designed for CPE applications when connected to the FMC-CH08 unmanaged chassis, or in standalone point-to-point applications. This media converter is ideal for customer premises equipment in metro LAN, campus, enterprise and FTTx applications.

The FMC-10/100 is an unmanaged option in the FRM220 range that offers a range of enhanced monitoring features such as, Link Loss Pass-Through (LLP), Far End Fault (FEF), Switch mode (store & forward, 1600 Bytes maximum frame size) or Converter mode (100/Full to 100/Full, low latency, 9K jumbo packet support). Additionally, the FMC-10/100 supports auto-negotiation on the copper Ethernet side as well as forced mode.

The FMC-10/100 is easy to configure, offering simple DIP switch settings for control over all converter settings, including duplex and speed configuration.

This media converter is completely transparent to Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols including IEEE 802.1q, VLAN tag, Q in Q, STP, IPX, IP, among others.

The Benefits

• Support for jumbo packets (up to 9K in convert mode) increases network speed and efficiency.
• Link Loss Pass-Through (LLP) is a troubleshooting feature that monitors links, disabling flawed connections and 'passing through' the link, which minimises network downtime.
• Far End Fault detection (FEF) alerts network managers to faults in remote unites via the front LCD pannel, again minimising network downtime.
