FST-80x

10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Smart Media Converter

Distance Extended with Fiber Optic Cable

PLANET FST-80x Smart Media Converter series provides media conversion between

10/100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX interfaces, such as multi-mode ST/SC connectors

(2km), single-mode SC connector (15/35/50km) and single fiber connector using the

wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology (20/60km) to enable to extend links

over long distances using ber optic cable.

Enhanced Smart Management Features

The FST-80x series provides auto MDI/MDI-X on their TP port and store-and-forward

mechanism to eliminate faulty packets. Use the DIP switch from the FST-80x to

configure the available smart functions, such as the half/full duplex, auto-negotiation /

force and 10/100Mbps options for TP and ber interfaces. Besides, the Link Loss Return

(LLR) and Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) functions can immediately alarm network

administrator once there is a media link issue, thus helping to monitor the status of the

entire network.

Easy Installation

The FST-80x series can be connected easily and cost-effectively as these smart media

converters can be used as a standalone unit when powered on by its DC adapter,

or used as a slide-in module connected to PLANET 19-inch, 16-slot web smart/

managed media converter chassis (MC-1600MR/MC-1600MR48 and MC-1610MR/MC-

1610MR48). When working with the web smart/managed media converter chassis, the

status of the FST-80x can be monitored via the local RS-232 console and remote web

interface.
