Documentation
Overview
EFM14 100TX to 100FX auto-negotiating Media Converter is an exceptionally small, standalone unit, designed to allow the network designer to add fiber segments as needed.
Features
- Converts 100BaseTX to 100BaseFX and vice-versa
- Allow for the introduction of a fiber segment
- 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 crossover switch on 100TX side of converter
- Compact rugged steel enclosure
- Auto Negotiation to 100TX
- Designed & Manufactured in the USA
Description
EFM14, 100TX to 100FX media converter, is designed to meet the need to integrate the Fast Ethernet performance with the benefits of fiber segments. EFM14 complies with IEEE 802.3u standard. EFM14 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. A wall mount 12 VDC power supply is supplied with the unit and is available for 110-240 VAC.
Unlike other manufactures who require that you purchase two different media converters to run either half or full duplex, EtherCom model EFM14 has user selectable switch to force the 100FX to half or full duplex. The 100BaseTX side of the unit features a MDI/MDIX crossover switch that dispenses with the any need for specially configured cables.
