Rate Switching 10/100BASE-T UTP to 100BASE-FX Fiber

In this application example, 10/100 media converters are installed in a Redundant Power chassis for high-density fiber distribution from UTP switch equipment at the Network Core. A UTP workgroup switch (A) is connected via fiber with a standalone 10/100 media converter. Another 10/100 converts the fiber to UTP in a fiber-to-desktop application (B). An Ethernet switch (C) is connected directly via fiber to the module at the Network Core. In all cases, multimode or single-mode fiber can be used, and fiber links can be extended up to 120km using single-mode fiber.

NOTE: iConverter 19-Module Chassis is shown in this application diagram. A FlexPoint unmangaed 14-Module chassis can also be used.
