10/100 LAN Extender FX
2-Port Fast Ethernet Switch
100BASE-TX/10BASE-T, 100BASE-FX

Easy Connectivity to Fast Ethernet Fiber Backbone

SMC's 10/100 LAN Extender FX is a two-port Fast Ethernet switch that can connect an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network to a Fast Ethernet fiber backbone. It is equipped with one 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T port for twisted-pair cable and one 100BASE-FX port with an SC connector for fiber cable. Both ports support full-duplex mode, so you can double the bandwidth of each segment. And, the twisted-pair port supports Auto-Negotiation, so the optimum data rate-100 or 10 Mbps-is selected automatically.

The 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T port can be connected to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or switch. Since these devices may have either crossover or straight-through ports, this LAN Extender port contains two RJ-45 connectors: one for crossover cable and the other (a Daisy-Chain port) for straight-through cable. This way, no matter what type of port the device has, you can connect it to the LAN Extender with straight-through cable.

The 100BASE-FX port can be connected to a fiber backbone. In addition, pairs of LAN Extenders can be joined together with fiber cable to extend the reach of a shared Fast Ethernet network. In full-duplex mode, the LAN Extender supports a fiber cable run of up to 2 km.

The LAN Extender employs a non-blocking design to allow simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at very low latency. And, it includes a comprehensive array of "at-a-glance" LEDs for easy network monitoring.

Features/Benefits

Outstanding Performance

    • 400 Mbps of aggregate bandwidth
    • Non-blocking design reduces latency
    • Filtering and forwarding at full wire speed on all ports
    • Automatic address learning and user-defined aging with 4,096 entry address table
    • Back pressure blocks traffic when buffers are full to prevent packet loss
    • Full-duplex operation doubles the band-width of each segment

Easy to Install and Use

    • Auto-Negotiation on twisted-pair port for automatic selection of data rate
    • Plug and play; no software to load
