Allied Telesis AT-FS201 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 single mode fiber-optic cabling. The AT-FS200 features a 100FX fiber-port and a 10/100TX twisted-pair port.Many 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. Switches not supporting this feature will discard these extra long packets, making them unsuitable for modern networks.
