StarTech 10/100 Fiber to Ethernet Media Multi Mode ST Converter

The MCM110ST2 10/100 Multi Mode ST Fiber Ethernet Media Converter (2 km) creates a cost-effective Ethernet to fiber link, transparently converting to/from 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet signals and 100BaseFx optical signals to extend an Ethernet network connection over a multimode fiber backbone. The ST media converter supports a maximum multimode fiber optic cable distance of 2km (1.2 miles), providing a simple solution for connecting 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet networks to remote locations using ST terminated multimode fiber, while delivering solid network performance and scalability.Easy to setup and install, this compact, value-conscious fast Ethernet media converter features auto-switching MDI and MDI-X support on the RJ45 UTP connections as well as manual controls for UTP mode, speed, Full and Half Duplex, as well as LFP (Link Fault pass-through) on/off. Backed by a StarTech 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support• Supports a maximum multi mode fiber optic cable distance of 2 km • Supports full or half-duplex operation • Compatible with 3COM, Cisco, Lucent and Nortel networks • Supports Link Fault Pass through (LFP) • Supports IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, 802.3u 100Base-TX and 100Base-FX industry standards • Supports IEEE 802.1q Tag VLAN pass thru • Supports Q in Q double tagged frame transparent • LED Indicators for simple Ethernet/Fiber network link monitoring • Support flow control (Pause) Advantage • Improve network scalability by increasing the distances between network points by up to 2km (Multi-mode) • Compact, lightweight enclosure is easily mounted or placed into any location with little to no configuration needed • Provides increased bandwidth and high data throughput by eliminating network bottlenecks and congestion Applications • Provides connectivity to a user or network segment that is in an isolated area of a large complex or in another building altogether • Perfect for secure environments required by government agencies where EMI is not acceptable • Connect traffic control/monitoring systems at extreme distances to the main office • Extend network connectivity to remote areas of stadiums, auditoriums or other venues • Converts 10/100Base-T Ethernet to 100Base-FX fiber optic signals over multimode fiber cable
