2.2 Product Description
ProMedia-100 Fast Ethernet media converters offer a convenient and easy way to convert and
transmit data among twisted pair and fiber network cabling environments. They allow the use of fiber
media with full-duplex devices such as Fast Ethernet switching hubs (managed and unmanaged), and
may sometimes be used with shared (half-duplex) Fast Ethernet segments as well. They offer a
compact, cost-effective way to adapt a pre-existing Ethernet cabling configuration as network
requirements change.
ProMedia-100 media converters are designed for quick and easy installation even in very tight
spaces as media cables are easily attached. ProMedia-100 media converters feature an up-link switch on
the TX port to eliminate the need for a special crossover cable when connecting the TX port to a hub or
concentrator. Because of their compact size, ProMedia media converters can be Velcro®-mounted on an
office wall or the side of a desk or cabinet. The external power supply plugs into a nearby AC wall socket
