This compact yet rugged device provides 100Base-TX/FX Media Conversion. It allows network extension over m/m fibre of 2000 m (6600 ft), and up to 70 km (!) over s/m fibres. It is transparent to HDX/FDX transmissions. Furthermore, it generates "FDX advertising" signals to force maximal performance on other - even non managed - network elements, thus enhancing overall network performance. The Fault Propagation mechanism implemented in the device allows network redundancy while the Link Test capability allows easy maintenance. The F.CON1 is equipped with an internal quality auto-range power supply (-48VDC power supply is optional). The optional slide-in rack shelf allows easy yet safe installation of up to 3 F.CON1 (or S.CON1/CTF1) devices in 1U height. |
