The FlexPoint 10/100 is a modular 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX UTP to 100BASE-FX fiber media converter that provides reliable and cost-effective network connectivity and fiber extension.

The FlexPoint 10/100 features a 10/100 auto-sensing UTP port that adjusts to the highest level of performance supported by the attached device. An override switch provides manual control over the 10/100 operation of the UTP port and the Half/Full- Duplex operation of both the fiber and UTP ports.

Using its store-and-forward technology with 1-Mbyte buffer memory, the FlexPoint 10/100 checks all packets and discards illegal or corrupted packets providing fragment-free packet forwarding.

It features a crossover switch that facilitates connectivity to network equipment such as hubs, switches and workstations.

The fiber port operates at 1310nm or 1550nm and features SC, ST, LC or MT-RJ connectors. Multimode fiber models support distances up to 5km, and single-mode fiber models support distances up to 120km.

Manual switch settings and LED indicators with on-the-label descriptions enable easy configuration to legacy devices or specific network requirements. The LEDs report the availability of power, port activity and link status, speed and duplex modes.

FlexPoint modules can be mounted utilizing optional wallmounting hardware or with DIN-rail mounting brackets. They can also be rack-mounted in a 5-Module shelf or in a high-density 14-Module, power-redundant Powered Chassis.

FlexPoint modules installed in the 5-Module shelf or used as standalone devices can be powered by an external AC to DC power adapter, or through the 5VDC chassis connector. Standalone modules can also be powered by attaching an external DC power supply (18-60VDC). When used in the 14-Module power-redundant Powered Chassis with any combination of AC and DC power supplies, the installed modules are powered via the 5VDC chassis connector.

The wide variety of FlexPoint mounting and power options provide flexible upgrade paths as network requirements change and grow.

FlexPoint unmanaged media converters are easy to use and provide dependable fiber connectivity in Enterprise and Government networks around the world.
