The fast ethernet market is growing rapidly due to the higher bandwidth demand. In addition to the network interface cards, hubs and switches, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Media Converters provide the last critical component to the whole Fast Ethernet network implementation, Edimax's ET-912STM is a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet Media Converter offering a simple and cost-effective method to convert between Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX UTP cables and 100Base-FX fiber optic cables, As defined in IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standards, 100BaseTX specifies the transmission over category UTP media that can transmit signals up to 100 meters. 100Base-FX specifies the transmission in fiber media that can transmit signals from 140 meters to 2 kilometers depending on whether half or full duplex operating mode is selected, The ET-912STM comes with one UTP connection (with two RJ45 connectors) that allow you to connect to a 100Base-TX device such as a workstation, hub or switch and one fiber connection (ST type connectors) that allow you to connect a 100Base-FX device. The ET-912STM will convert the signals between the two different transmission media, The ET-912STM is truly a plug-and-play device, no settings or jumpers or switches are required. The Full-Duplex and Half-C581Duplex modes will automatically adjust according to the operation mode of connected devices, Equipped with transparent port management and power-on self-diagnostic routine, a set of diagnostic LEDs indicate the converter's operating status.
