The Pelco FT82011/FR82011 media converter converts 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet data to 100Base-FX Ethernet data and vice versa. Designed for point-to-point applications, the FT82011/FR82011 media converter provides one 10Base-T/100Base-TX port and one 100Base-FX fiber port. The FT82011 and FR82011 media converters are used in combination with one another to provide wavelength compatibility. Using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), bidirectional data is transported in a single fiber.
Autonegotiation
The 100Base-FX fiber port is automatically forced to full-duplex 100 Mbps operation. Networking functions for the 10Base-T/100Base-TX port (RJ-45 twisted-pair copper port) are user selectable by means of a rotary switch. Autonegotiation allows the port to automatically negotiate between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps data rates and between full-duplex and half-duplex modes. If autonegotiation is not desired, the port can be forced to specific modes of operation: 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps data rate, half-duplex or full-duplex mode, and the enabling/disabling of flow control. The auto MDI/MDI-X feature allows each RJ-45 port to connect to either a straight-through or crossover RJ-45 cable.
Link Down Connection
The link-down detection feature of the media converters propagates a link-down status among all 10Base-T/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX ports connected in the network when a 10Base-T/100Base-TX link or 100Base-FX link goes down. As a result, all ports are disabled and data transmission halts until the faulty link is restored.
Rack Mountable
Modular in design, the FT82011 and FR82011 units can be rack mounted or can be used as stand-alone modules. Rack mounting is accomplished using the RK5000 Series rack mount chassis. Standalone modules can be placed on a desktop or can be mounted to a wall.
Conformal Coating
Because of its conformal coating, this fiber module can be used in environments with relative humidity above 95% (condensing).
