PERLE SYSTEMS Perle 05051350 C-100-S2ST120 - Fiber media converter - 100Mb LAN - 100Base-TX, 100Base-ZX - RJ-45 / ST single-mode - up to 74.6 miles - 1550 nm

Auto-MIDX. Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable. Far-End Fault (FEF). The media converter implements the 802.3 standard for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of remote fault conditions on the 100Base-X fiber connection. With Far-End Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault indication over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the 100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal. Auto-negotiation (802.3u). The media converter supports auto negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX interface. Pause (IEEE 802.3xy). Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The media converter supports pause negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX copper connection. Link pass-through. With link pass-through the state of the UTP receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter to make the media converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In addition if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off the 10/100Base-TX transmitter when a Far-End Fault is received. Using link pass-through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making trouble shooting easier.
