The Mini Media Converters provide a cost-effective method for integrating fiber optic cabling into a 10/100 UTP environment. With its miniature size, the Mini offers a space saving alternative while it converts copper to fiber with the smallest footprint available in the industry.

Powering Options Depending upon the unit, this plug-and-play media converter offers three methods for powering the unit. All Mini's can be powered with the included power adapter, while other options include powering through a USB port or though an 802.3af Power over Ethernet enabled RJ-45 port.* Two power options can be used simultaneously, providing the security of redundant power supplies. The Mini is available with either ST or SC fiber interfaces and is available for either multimode or single mode fiber.

Auto-Negotiation

If someone tells you media conversion
Auto-Negotiation allows devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. Devices with this feature will broadcast their speed (10Mbps, 100Mbps, etc.) and duplex (half/full) capabilities to other devices and negotiate the best mode of operation between the two devices. No user intervention required to determine best mode of operation

While the inclusion of this feature is beneficial, the ability to disable it is equally beneficial. In the event of a non-negotiating end device trying to connect to a negotiating device, the mode of operation will drop to the least common denominator between the two devices (i.e. 100Mbps, half-duplex). Disabling this feature gives the user the ability to force the connection to the best mode of operation when trying to link with a non-negotiating device. Most Transition converters with Auto-Negotiation will allow you to disable this feature.

Far
End Fault (802.3u)
difficulty and to make media converters
Far End Fault (FEF) is a troubleshooting feature that is generally used in conjunction with Link Pass Through to notify both end devices of a loss of link. In the event of a loss of the fiber RX signal on the far end converter the converter will automatically generate a Far End Fault signal and send it on its TX fiber port to notify the near end converter of a fiber link loss. Link Pass Through will then disable the copper links on both ends; alerting both end devices of network trouble (see diagram below). Both end devices automatically notified of link loss Prevents loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over invalid link

Allows for quick diagnosis and resolution of network problems Transition Networks’s media converters that include the FEF feature do not need to be used as pictured above as they will work with other network devices that support Far End Fault per IEEE standards.

Link
Pass Through
Link Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that prevents media converters from isolating link failures and it allows end devices to be notified in the event of a loss of link. Link Pass Through provides the media converter with the ability to monitor both the fiber and the copper RX ports for a loss of signal. If a loss of RX signal occurs on one media port, the converter will automatically disable the TX signal on the other port. By shutting down the fiber TX port, the link failure is “passed through” to the remote converter and device (see diagram below). End device automatically notified of link loss Prevents loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link
Automatic
Link Restoration
Transition Networks's converters will automatically re-establish link in all network conditions. No need to reset devices Transition Networks's converters will automatically re-establish link when connected to switches if link was lost. With other manufacturers' converters the user must reset the converter to re-establish the link. Auto-Negotiation Enabled Automatic Link Restoration allows the users to continue using Auto-Negotiation with Link Loss Notification features. With other manufacturers' converters the user must disable Auto-Negotiation and hard set the link. Link Pass Through Activated in both directions Automatic Link Restoration on Transition Networks's products allows users to continue using Link Loss Notification feature activated in both directions. Many competitive solutions allow for Link Loss Notification activation only in one direction. If Link Loss feature is activated in both directions, competitive products are put in a "deadly embrace" and they cannot restore the link without resetting the converters.
