The iConverter 100FF managed media converters are members of the modular iConverter product family. The 100FF provides single-mode to multimode fiber conversion and is a cost-effective solution to extending network distances by connecting multimode fiber network devices over single-mode fiber cabling.
iConverter 100FF models are available with multimode, single-mode and single-fiber options. The single-mode fiber port supports ST or SC connectors and distances up to 120km. The multimode fiber port supports ST or SC connectors and distances up to 5km.
The 100FF features user-selectable Link Propagate and Remote Fault Detection modes to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.
iConverter 100FF modules are hot-swappable and can be mounted in a 19-Module (2U high) or 5-Module (1U high) rack-mountable chassis (19-inch or 23-inch) with any combination of redundant AC, 24VDC or 48VDC power supplies. They can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or 18 to 60VDC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module AC/DC powered chassis.
The iConverter family of managed fiber access media converters are used in Service Provider access networks and Enterprise LANs. iConverter media converters provide fiber connectivity with copper-to-fiber, multimode fiber to single-mode fiber, or dual fiber to single-fiber conversions.
Management is accomplished by using a Network Management Module (NMM) or a media converter with integrated management (such as an iConverter 10/100M2) that provides monitoring, remote configuration and trap notification. The management module can be accessed via SNMP, Telnet, and via a serial port. The SNMP-based management is accomplished via Omnitron's intuitive, graphic-oriented NetOutlook management software or third party SNMP management software. Management via the Telnet and the serial interfaces have an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface.
Some of the real-time 100FF parameters that can be monitored include power, link and data receive status. Other parameters include module type and model, hardware and software revisions, serial numbers and a user-defined identifier.
The user can override the 100FF module's physical DIP-switch settings by using SNMP or Telnet to remotely configure DIP-switch-selectable parameters such as Link Propagate or Remote Fault Detection.
In addition to all standard iConverter SNMP traps such as module insertion and removal, the 100FF modules can generate traps on port state changes including link-up and link-down. Trap monitoring of specific events can be selectively enabled or disabled by the network administrator.

For wide temperature (-40 to 60º C), add a "W" to the end of the model number.
Consult factory for extended temperature (-40 to +75º C) models.
When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other.
