Allied Telesis AT-FS238a/1, AT-FS238a/2, AT-FS238b/1, AT-FS238b/2 Overview

Overview

The AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters are the

10/100Mbps fast switch single-mode fib er transceivers which can send and

receive on two different wavelengths (1310nm and 1550nm) on a single-mode

fiber cable.

The AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters include the

following models:

Below is how to differentiate between the models mentioned above:

❑AT-FS238a/1 = (1310TX/1550RX) - 15 km range

❑AT-FS238b/1 = (1550TX/1310RX) - 15 km range

❑AT-FS238a/2 = (1310TX/1550RX) - 40 km range

❑AT-FS238b/2 = (1550TX/1310RX) - 40 km range

The AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters are designed

to extend the distance of your network by converting Fast Ethernet data

between twisted pair cabling and single-mode fiber optic cabling. These dual-

port bridging converters can also be used to improve the performance of your

network by dividing it into smaller, more manageable segments.

Each bridging converter features a 100Base-FX fiber optic port and a 10Base-

T/100Base-TX twisted pair port.The fiber optic port has a simplex SC

(Subscriber Connector) connector and an operating distance of 15 kilometers

(9.4 miles) or 40 kilometers (24.8 miles), depending on the model. The twisted

pair port has an RJ-45 connector with a maximum operating distance of 100

meters (328 feet).
