Product Description
The implementation of 100 BASE-T allows dramatic improvement of network
performance and its based upon proven 10 BASE-T technology that is in
worldwide use today. Moving to 100 BASE-T does require higher quality
cabling and more care in installation and the environment. As always,
a fiber option eliminates all potential copper cabling problems and
allows maximum utilization of the 100 MHZ bandwidth with virtually no
retransmissions for lost or errored packets.
The Model 372 Media Converter allows any two 100Base-TX compliant ports
to be connected by multimode, 62.5/125 micron fiber optic cable, while
assuring that collision information is preserved and translated from
one segment to the other. The operation of the device is transparent
to the network and is offered in two versions. The Model 372 is equipped
with SC fiber connectors while the 372LHST is equipped with ST fiber
ST connectors and offers 2 Km performance.
The new 100 BASE-T adapters allow full duplex, simultaneous transfer
of data with a minimum of collisions. The Model 372, 100 BASE-T to fiber
converter extends this full duplex capability using dual fibers, while
offering flawless data transmission at 100 MBPS. The Model 372 incorporates
three LED's that report if the 100 Base-T and fiber are active and powered.
The fiber optic connector is a duplex as ordered, designed for operation
at 100 MBPS for FDDI, ATM or Fast Ethernet. Power for the Model 372
is via a supplied power pack.
