C/E-TX-SX-02 IN THE NETWORK

The C/E-TX-SX-02 media converter is designed to work effectively with
10/100 autonegotiating ports to provide reliable 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
fiber links. 
The C/E-TX-SX-02 receives and transmits network signals in either full-
duplex or half-duplex mode, depending upon the network devices to
which the media converter is attached. Fast Ethernet

in full-duplex

mode allows the maximum cable distances shown on these pages. Fast
Ethernet

in half-duplex mode requires attention to the 512-bit Rule

(See page 4).
NOTE: Both copper AND fiber connections to the C/E-TX-SX-02 must
be at the same media-speed: 10BASE-T / 10BASE-FL or 100BASE-TX /
100BASE-SX OR one or both connections must be capable of auto-
negotiation.

Network Installation 

Install two C/E-TX-SX-02 series media converters in series to extend,
over fiber, the distance between two 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX devices:
