Full-Duplex Network

In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type of cables used. See page 1 (front cover) for available CFETF10xx-205 models.

The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.

Pause Control Frame

The pause control feature can improve network performance by allowing one end of the link to signal the other to discontinue frame transmission for a set period of time to relieve buffer congestion.

NOTE: If the pause control feature is present on ALL network devices attached to the media converter(s), enable the pause control feature on the media converter(s). Otherwise, disable this feature.

Link Pass-Through

When the Link Pass-Through feature is activated, it allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event of a loss of an RX signal (1), the media converter will automatically disable the TX (transmit) signal (2), thus, “passing through” the link loss (3). The far-end device is notified automatically of the link loss (4), which prevents the loss of valuable data transmitted unknowingly over an invalid.

Far-End Fault

When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter transmits a Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition, the Far-End Fault signal also activates the Link Pass-Through, which in turn disables the link on the copper portion of the network (3) and (4).
