Documentation
Overview
ERMB11, 10/100TX to 100FX auto-negotiating Media Converter is an exceptionally small, rack mountable, US made unit, designed to allow the network designer to add fiber segments as needed to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet network. It is designed to fit into ERM21C, 21 slot chassis.
Features
- Converts 10/100TX to 100FX and vice-versa
- Allow for the introduction of a fiber segment to copper network
- Greatly increase segment length, eliminate electro-magnetic interference, and offers protection from lightning
- Multimode configuration standard, the optional single mode can increase fiber segment lengths from 2 km to 50 km
- MDI/MDIX
- Compact rugged steel faceplate
- Auto Negotiation to 10BaseT or 100TX
- Designed & Manufactured in the USA
Description
ERMB11, 10/100TX to 100FX media converter, is designed to meet the need to integrate the Fast Ethernet performance with the benefits of fiber segments. ERMB11 complies with IEEE 802.3u standard. ERMB11 generates fast link pulses to allow the link partner to auto-negotiate to full duplex on the copper segment. A complement of five LEDs display power for the unit plus link and receive on each segment.
Unlike other manufacturers who require that you purchase two different media converters to run either half or full duplex, EtherCom model ERMB11 has user selectable switch to force the 100FX to half or full duplex. The 10/100TX side is MDI/MDIX that dispenses with the any need for specially configured UTP cables.
