Planet Media Converter 10/100-100FX (SC) LFP MM

PLANET FT-80x is a Fast Ethernet Bridge 100BASE-FX fibre to 10/100BASE-TX shielded twisted pair (STP) converter.


It supports both half-duplex and full-duplex operations and a variety of fibre options. The converter auto-adapts to the highest level of performance supported by the device connected to the STP port.

When the device is a switch or a workstation that supports full duplex, the converter adapts to the full-duplex mode and provides an effective 200Mbps bandwidth. When the connected device is a hub or a workstation that supports only half duplex, the converter adapts to the half-duplex mode and provides the nominal 100Mbps bandwidth.

An override switch provides total manual control over the half/full-duplex operation in fibre-optic interface. The fibre port of the converter operates at 1310 nm and uses ST, SC, MTRJ, VF45 or WDM connectors. Multi-mode models that support distances up to 2km and single-mode models that support distances up to 15/20/35/50/60km are available.
