Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
The FX82052 unmanaged Ethernet switch provides five 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports and two 100BASE-FX fiber ports for the transport of bidirectional Ethernet data. The FX82052 switch is available in versions that accept one or two multimode or single-mode fibers per fiber port.
The FX82052 switch can be used in point-to-point and drop-and-repeat applications:
•In point-to-point applications, a second fiber port provides an optional redundant fiber link. Using the fiber redundancy option, the second fiber port—which is idle during regular operation—becomes operational if the primary fiber port fails.
•In drop-and-repeat applications, two fiber ports allow one or more Ethernet devices to be connected into a fiber optic daisy chain.
Refer to Figure 1 for illustrations of point-to-point and drop-and-repeat applications using FX82052 versions that accept one fiber per fiber port. Using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, bidirectional data is transported in one fiber.
NOTE: In Figure 1, the FX82052 switch is referred to as the FX82052-2 to represent module versions that accept one fiber per port (total of two fibers). For a listing of the exact model names, refer to Models on page 10.
Refer to Figure 2 for illustrations of point-to-point and drop-and-repeat applications using FX82052 versions that accept two fibers per fiber port. Two fibers are required to transport bidirectional data over a fiber port.
NOTE: In Figure 2, the FX82052 switch is referred to as the FX82052-4 to represent module versions that accept two fibers per port (total of four fibers). For a listing of the exact model names, refer to Models on page 10.
