Single Mode Fibre (SC) Converter with Link Status Propagation, 5Km

Fast Ethernet 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Fibre Optic Media Converter. Models available in ST, SC, LC, VF-45 and MT-RJ Termination as well as Multimode and Single Mode variations.

Alloy offer a complete range of media conversion for Ethernet, FastEthernet, Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, and asynchronous Serial Networks over various interface types such as Multimode and SingleMode Fibre Optics, Copper RJ-45 and copper Serial. All Converters are fully compliant with IEEE multiprotocol standards, including 10Base-T/2/FL, 100Base-TX/FX, 1000Base-SX/LX, and ATM protocols.

The Converters ship as standard with a mains plug pack, but can also be directly powered from a PC or Notebook via a PS2 keyboard adapter or a spare USB slot (FCR100 series only). For centralised media conversion a hot-swappable, 10 slot, 19 inch rackmount chassis can be used to provide a single power source for multiple converters. The Rack chassis solution provides various power options from Dual redundant to single power supplies in either Mains AC voltages or Telco 48V DC options.

Specificly the FCR100 range of converters are used for conversion of Nway 10/100Base-TX to Fibre 100Base-FX standards. They are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards. They feature one fibre port using either "ST", "SC", "MT-RJ" or "LC" connectors, and one STP RJ-45 10/100Base-TX port.

The FCR100 is unique in that it adds a manual over-ride function to the 10/100Mbps port selection. This enables the user to force either 10Mbps or 100Mbps at either Half or Full Duplex from easy to access DIP switches mounted on the side of the case.

Power for the FCR100 range of converters can now be taken from the Host PC or Notebook's USB port. This enables the converters to operate without the necessity of mains power (in the case of a notebook), and without the need for additional power points or mains expansion boards. USB cable is approx 1.5 meters in length. Note: other power options also available.

The FCR100 range supports 'Link Failure Propagation'. This feature enables propagation of the link signal across both ports of the converter and is seen as a critical feature for managed networks that utilize SNMP type trap events to notify network managers of potential problems. 'Link Failure Propagation' can also be used in modern OS's where Ethernet Link loss can atc as a trigger to enable a standby route.

The FCR100 uses a 2 port Switching Chipset to convert from Ethernet and Fast Ethernet copper segments in both full and half duplex modes, to 100Mbps Fibre connections once again in full or half duplex. In full-duplex mode on standard Multimode fibre, transmission of up to 2 Km is possible. In Full-duplex mode on FCR100SC. using Single Mode fibre, transmission of up to 20/40/60Km is possible.

These media converters can be installed as standalone units or as slide-in modules to the 19" converter rack ( DCR12) for use at a central wiring closet.
