1.3.1 Connections

The FOT-F3 connects two active Ethernet devices using an AUI cable and a fiber optic link segment. Devices such as repeaters, multiport repeaters, multiport transceivers or host systems are connected using fiber optic cables.

The FOT-F3 is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3 and uses the same signaling specified in FOIRL specifications. It provides the flexibility to connect to networks using Ethernet Version 1, Version 2, and/or IEEE 802.3 equipment through an AUI port. However, the FOT-F3 uses 1300 nm wave-length optical transmitters and receivers and should be used only with Cabletron Systems Ethernet single mode products such as the FOMIM-36, FOMIM-32, and the FOMIM-38.
