E-FRL-MC05(SM) (TRANSITION NETWORKS)

Port 1: 10BASE5 (AUI) Port 2: 10BASE-FL 1300nm SM ST (20 km) Available in both multimode and single mode fiber optic versions. LinkAlert Technology Because most Ethernet technologies are unable to recognize downlink faults, a failed link may appear normal to network management, requiring unnecessary time devoted to troubleshooting. LinkAlert monitors all physical uplink and downlink failures and enables all faults to be detected by network management. Multimode version can support fiber optic segments up to 2,000 meters. Single mode version supports segments up to 15,000 meters in length. Both multimode and single mode transceivers connect AUI male (DB-15) nodes to a fiber optic medium via a standard ST type connector in both full and half-duplex modes. The ability to operate in full-duplex mode allows for operation between switches, routers and servers using full-duplex Ethernet. Multimode version takes advantage of full duplex transmission to increase data rates between devices up to 20 Mbps. Long-Haul version, E-FRL-MC05(L), uses a 1300nm LED rather than the standard 850nm LED, so it can transmit and receive data over distances up to 5,000 meters. That's almost a 3,000-meter advantage over the standard 10BASE-FL distance of 2,000 meters.
