Allied Telesis AT-FS202 Fast Ethernet Media Converter

The FS200 series switches are the ideal solution when the time comes to upgrade your traditional 10Mbps Ethernet network or extend your 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The FS200 series is designed to extend the distance of your network by converting Fast Ethernet data between twisted pair cabling and singlemode fiber-optic cabling.Many new backbone switch products now support the industry standard IEEE 802.1Q specification for Virtual LANs (VLANs) that send extra-long data packets on the network. The FS200 switches are fully compatible with these long packets, enabling them to be used in modern networks.The small size and external power supply of the FS200 series allows them to be used almost anywhere. Additionally, they can be mounted in a chassis along with Allied Telesis' media converters, allowing users to construct any mix of network conversions when they add the optional redundant power supply.
