Key Features

  • 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX conversion for copper-rich Fast Ethernet environments
  • 1 RJ-45 network port and 1 ST fiber port for fixed copper-to-fiber media conversion
  • 1300nm multimode fiber interface with 2km/1.2mi. listed fiber distance
  • 100 Mbps data rate for Fast Ethernet links
  • Low-Latency Layer 1 Design retransmits Fast Ethernet signals without store-and-forward packet inspection delays
  • Unit and port LEDs provide quick status information
  • Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX for copper-side connectivity
  • Convert 100Base-TX copper to 100Base-X fiber for legacy edge links
The Lantronix M/E-TX Series is a Mini Fast Ethernet media converter for 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX conversion. This M/E-TX-FX-01-NA configuration connects 100Base-TX (RJ-45) [100m/328 ft.] to 100Base-FX 1300nm multimode (ST)[2km/1.2mi.]. It is designed for fiber integration in copper-rich Fast Ethernet environments and may be used in pairs or as a single unit. Fiber supports Fast Ethernet transmission over much longer distances than twisted pair. A Low-Latency Layer 1 Design retransmits Fast Ethernet signals without store-and-forward packet inspection delays found in other Layer 2 devices. Unit and port LEDs provide power, fiber link/activity, and copper link/activity status.

Ideal For

  • Adding fiber optic cabling to copper-rich Fast Ethernet environments
  • Extending Fast Ethernet links beyond twisted-pair distance limits
  • Converting 100Base-TX RJ-45 endpoints to 100Base-FX multimode ST fiber
  • Deploying media conversion where available space is limited
