2.2 DESCRIPTION
There are four base models in the Patton Model 2300M Series of stan- dards compliant Ethernet Media Converters (see Table 1) that convert and extend the reach of copper Ethernet over multi-mode fiber.

•The Model 2300M converts 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX and extends up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note The Model 2300M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100 and 100Base-TX/100Base-FX network devices only; it is not capable of connecting to 10Base-T/10Base-FL network devices.
•The Model 2310M converts 10Base-T to 10Base-FL and extends up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km).
Note The Model 2310M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100 and 10Base-T/10Base-FL network devices only; it is not capable of connecting to 100Base-TX/100Base-FX or SX network devices.
•The Model 2311M auto-negotiates and converts 10Base-T/100Base- TX to 10Base-FL/100Base-SX and extends up to 1.24 miles (2.0 km) in 10Base-FL mode and 0.19 miles (0.3 km) in 100Base-SX mode.
Note The Model 2311M can be used to connect auto-sensing 10/100, 10Base-T/10Base-FL, and 100Base-T/100Base-SX network devices, however, it is not capable of connecting to 100Base-FX network devices. Further, the Model 2311M cannot connect a 10Base network device on one side to a 100Base network device on the other.
If a 10Base network device is on one side of the Model 2311M, there must be another 10Base or an auto-sensing 10/100 net- work device on the other. If a 100Base network device is on one
