MC100FX-SC2/30-A User’s Guide

100Base-TX port

The 10/100BASE-TX port supports network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes. This port also offers automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that gives the device true "plug-n-play" capability – just plug the network cable into the port and the port will adjust according to the end-node device automatically. The RJ-45 connector is suitable for UTP cable of Category 3, 4, 5 or better.

100Base-FX port

The 100BASE-FX port has a fiber Fast Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant with IEEE 802.3u, this port can transmits data at 100Mbps in full duplex mode across distances of up to 2km over multi-mode fiber-optic cable, and 30km over single-mode fiber-optic cable. The fiber port has SC fiber connectors.

LED Indicators

This Converter has LED indicators located at the front of the device.
