QuickSwitch® 4185 SC Duplex, Multimode Switch / Converter
Fiber Optic SC Duplex, Multimode Switch / Converter allows the user the capability of accessing two separate fiber optic 100 Base FX ports (ports A and B) from a 100 Base TX Fast Ethernet port (Common port). The fiber optic / twisted pair copper conversion is built in! The unit is fully compliant with the 802.3u 100 Base TX/FX standard.
Ports A and B are 1300nm, SC Duplex, Multimode, 100 Base FX fiber optic ports. The COMMON port is a 100 Base TX Fast Ethernet port. The selected fiber optic port will convert and pass data to and from the 100 Base TX COMMON port.
A front panel pushbutton changes the switch position. Switch position status is displayed on the front panel LEDs. The unit also includes an RS232 serial security enhanced Supervisory Remote Port. A terminal or computer in terminal mode connected to this port can communicate with the unit, determine its status, change the switch position as desired, and/or lockout front panel switching capability. A modem can also be connected to this port for remote access to the switch. An optional graphical user interface (GUI) software is also available for use with a computer running Windows operating system.
The switch may be controlled locally by manually operating the front-panel pushbutton. The front-panel LED display indicates the switch position and unit power status.
