Media Converter with Link Fault Signaling

Media Converter with Link Fault Signaling

Establish a Fiber Optic Cabling Infrastructure Within Your Existing Network

Fiber optic media converters from Signamax Connectivity Systems are an easy and cost effective way to establish a fiber optic cabling infrastructure within your existing network. Our series of unmanaged converters provides simplicity with Link Fault Signaling (LFS) to allow managed switches to recognize a failure on a fiber channel or twisted pair connection and reroute to a backup path if the connected switch is equipped with spanning tree algorithm. Spanning tree protocol is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy in a network while preventing undesirable loops in a network using this algorithm. The converter also has the ability to force speed and use duplex modes where less flexible converters cannot.

What's Special

  • Signamax is our most spec'd in media converter providing one channel for media conversion.
  • Translates transmission signals from a twisted-pair 10BaseT or 100BaseTX cable to 100BaseFX fiber optic cable.
  • Can be used as a stand alone device or placed in a 19" chassis (sold separately).
  • Built in twisted-pair port 10/100 switch

Features

The fiber cable connection operates at 100 Mbps when connected to either a 10BaseT or a 100BaseTX network with the benefit of the built in 10/100 switch, and is completely 100BaseFX standard compliant. The fiber connection can operate in full duplex mode whether the RJ-45 port is connected to a full duplex switch or a half duplex hub, with the built-in switch providing the network segmentation that permits the maximum fiber distance (2 km for multimode and 15 km for single mode). Each media converter provides a 10/100BaseT/TX auto-negotiating RJ-45 twisted pair connector port featuring store-and-forward switching architecture.
