- Distance extended with fiber optic cable
- Enhanced smart management features
- Easy installation
PLANET FST-80x smart media converter series provides media conversion between 10/100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX interfaces, such as multi-mode ST/SC connectors, single-mode SC connector and single fiber connector using the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology to enable to extend links over long distances using fiber optic cable.
The FST-80x series provides auto MDI/MDI-X on their TP port and store-and-forward mechanism to eliminate faulty packets. Use the DIP switch from the FST-80x to configure the available smart functions, such as the half/full duplex, auto-negotiation/force. Besides, the Link Loss Return (LLR) and Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) functions can immediately alarm network administrator once there is a media link issue, thus helping to monitor the status of the entire network. The FST-80x series can be connected easily and cost-effectively as these smart media converters can be used as a standalone unit when powered on by its DC adapter, or used as a slide-in module connected to web smart/managed media converter chassis.
