2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The Pure Networking LGC200A, LGC201A and LGC202A are Gigabit Media Converters. The SFP port of the LGC200A supports hot-swappable, Gigabit SFP modules. The LGC201A has a dual SC multimode fiber connector, and the LGC202A has a dual SC single-mode fiber connector.

Use the media converters to join a 1000BASE-TX segment to a 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX segment on your network, or use them in pairs to extend the 328-feet (100-m) distance limitation of copper-based Ethernet.

Three converter models are available:

•LGC200A: This SFP module media converter transmits/receives data based on the

SFP module that is installed.

•LGC201A: This fiber SC media converter transmits/receives data by 850-nm short-wave laser over multimode fiber.

•LGC202A: This fiber SC media converter transmits/receives data by 1310-nm short-wave laser over single-mode fiber.
