ETX-21 Fast Ethernet Layer 1 Media ConverterETX-21 is a media converter that provides transparent conversion of
optical and electrical signals for the Fast Ethernet service. The ETX-21
media converter is used to extend the operation distance between two
copper Fast Ethernet devices via fiber optic infrastructure transparently and
with no performance degradation. The ETX-21 media converter card can be
installed in the following enclosures: LRS-20, 16-slot 3U-high modular rack, accommodating up to 16
hot-swappable converter cards. The LRS-20 rack is intended for central site
installation. LRS-1, 1U high standalone unit, accommodating one converter card.
LRS-1 is intended for installation at remote sites, or if only a single
converter is required. The following ETX-21 media converter cards are available (see Table 1 for full
details): ETX-21/UTP/FE-M media converter, converting between UTP and
multimode fiber optic cables, 1310 nm ETX-21/UTP/FE-1 media converter, converting between UTP and single
mode fiber optic cables, 1310 nm ETX-21/UTP/FE-2 , converting between UTP and single mode fiber
optic cables, short haul, 1310 nm ETX-21/UTP/FE-3, converting between UTP and single mode fiber optic
cables, long haul, 1550 nm. The UTP port of the ETX-21 cards supports user-configurable MDI/MDIX
function, correcting connection polarity errors. This allows using straight or
crossed cables for the LAN connection. The user-configurable fault propagation mechanism automatically
shuts down the UTP port if a failure is detected on the fiber optic port. The
UTP link is re-established when the fiber optic connection is restored. The autonegotiation function automatically matches the UTP port
duplex mode and data rate to the user equipment requirements. LEDs indicate the fiber optic link status, data transmission and
duplex modes statuses of the UTP port. ETX-21 Fast Ethernet media converter product data sheet (pdf)
