Product description
The FMC media converters are noticed for their simplicity: no management features, guaranteed reliability and extremely affordable cost. Units can be ordered with either SC type or ST type of fiber optic connector. FC optical connector is available on demand.
The FMC-10-100-SC02A is a hard to find BiDirectional single strand multi-mode(850/1310nm) fiber media converter equipped with a single SC type optical connector, auto-negotiation 10/100 and MDI/MDI-X features for the Fast Ethernet RJ45 UTP interface. Even without the SNMP management support, FMC series support Link-Fault-Pass through function (LFP - an extremely useful feature to easily debug faulty fiber links), Far-End-Fault function (FEF), acts on a Store-and-Forward switching platform and can carry Jumbo data packets up to 9K size. These extra functions and speed and flow selections can be made through the available DIP switches on the front panel of the media converter.
Being a single strand converter, the FMC-10-100-SC02Bmust be paired with the FMC-10-100-SC02A counterpart to obtain a viable fiber link. Models use two wavelengths of 1550 and 1310nm to coexist on same single strand of fiber and they act complementary: A model has Tx:1310nm/Rx:1550nm while B model has Tx:1550nm/Rx:1310nm.
Used with their compatible FMC-CH08(8 Slot)or FMC-CH17(17 Slot)fiber optic chassis they can be aggregated up to 17 units in a 19" wide and 2U height space only. The FMC-CH17 chassis is available with single or dual redundat power supplies.In an always changing and growing networking environment, such a versatile feature allows network operators to switch to higher density and aggregation hubs without the need to purchase new fiber optic converters. This simple, but so reliable idea, is making the FMC series media converters a very clever choice for data carriers and service providers.
