Allied AT-FS201-30 Telesis FS200 2x 100BTX Layer 2 FE Media Converter

Product Description

The Allied AT-FS201-30 is a compact and efficient Layer 2 Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper-based Ethernet networks and fiber optic infrastructure. This device allows for the seamless extension of network distances by converting electrical signals from copper Ethernet ports into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cables, and vice versa. Featuring two 100BTX RJ-45 copper ports and one 100FX fiber optic port with an SC connector, the AT-FS201-30 is ideal for connecting devices in environments where standard Ethernet cable lengths are insufficient. The fiber optic port supports multimode fiber and operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, enabling communication over extended distances compared to copper cabling. This media converter supports auto-negotiation on its copper ports, simplifying deployment and ensuring optimal performance. It operates at Layer 2, meaning it functions at the data link layer of the OSI model, forwarding frames based on MAC addresses. The Allied AT-FS201-30 is a cost-effective solution for extending network reach in campus environments, industrial settings, or any scenario requiring the integration of fiber optic connectivity.
