Product details
The Allied Telesis AT-FS202-40 is a 100Base-TX Layer 2 media converter. It allows for the conversion between electrical signals on a twisted-pair Ethernet cable (100Base-TX) and optical signals on a fiber optic cable (typically 100Base-FX, though specific fiber type is not detailed in SKU). This device is useful for extending network reach over longer distances using fiber optics.

Description
The Allied Telesis AT-FS202-40 is a dedicated media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper-based Ethernet networks and fiber optic networks. Operating at Layer 2 of the OSI model, it facilitates the seamless transmission of Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) data between a 100Base-TX twisted-pair port, typically using an RJ45 connector, and a 100Base-FX fiber optic port. This conversion is crucial for extending network distances beyond the limitations of copper cabling (typically 100 meters) by leveraging the greater reach of fiber optics, which can span kilometers depending on the fiber type and transceiver used. The primary function of the AT-FS202-40 is to enable network infrastructure to connect devices or segments that are geographically separated. For instance, it can be used to link buildings within a campus, connect different floors in a large facility, or extend network connectivity to remote locations where copper cabling is impractical or impossible. The device translates the electrical signals from the copper Ethernet port into light pulses for transmission over fiber, and vice versa, ensuring data integrity throughout the conversion process. This media converter is typically a standalone, compact device that requires a power source (usually an external power adapter). Its simplicity of operation makes it easy to deploy in various network environments without complex configuration. The AT-FS202-40 is a cost-effective solution for upgrading existing copper Ethernet infrastructure to benefit from the speed, security, and distance advantages offered by fiber optic cabling, making it a valuable tool for network expansion and connectivity.
