FST-81x Series

10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Smart Fast Ethernet Media Converter (OAM Support)

To provide an easy use yet powerful solution for FTTX applications, PLANET releases a new 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Smart Media Converter, FST-81x series, featuring plug & play and smart media conversion functions.

Distance Extension with High Performance and Steady Network Communication
The PLANET Smart Fast Media Converter- FST-81x series extends communication distance with highly stable performance via fiber optical cable. The FST-81x series provides media conversion between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX interfaces such as multi-mode ST/SC connectors (2km), single-mode SC connector (15/35/50km), single-mode LC connectors (2/20/40/60km) and single fiber connector (WDM,20km) fiber connection options for various application.

Easy Installation
The FST-81x series allows two easy types of connection. These Smart Media Converters can be used as a standalone unit when powered by its DC adapter or used as a slide-in module to the PLANET 19-inch Web Smart / Managed 16-Slots Media Converter Chassis (MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48). When working with the Web Smart / Managed Media Converter Chassis, the FST-81x is able to be centrally managed and its status be monitored through the local RS-232 console and remote web interface.

Enhanced Smart Management Features
The FST-81x series provides Auto MDI/MDI-X on its TP port and the DIP switch to configure available smart functions including the flow control / Link Pass Through function (LLCF/LLR). The Flow Control function allows FST-81x supported routers and servers to directly connect to FST-81x for fast, reliable data transfer.
The Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) function works with Link Loss Return (LLR) to diagnose network connections. Furthermore, the LLR function can immediately alarm network administrator the media link issue and provide efficient solution to monitor the entire network.
Ingress / Egress bandwidth control function support on both TP and Fiber interface of FST-81x to enhance bandwidth utilization, Before FST-81x power outage situation appears, the new Dying Gasp feature enables network administrator to receive message from FST-81x and get information about FST-81x loss power for further check and restore.
Moreover, when FST-81x is installed into MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 Managed Media Converter Chassis, the TS-1000/802.3ah OAM protocol (operations, administration, and maintenance) function helps remote device be centrally managed and monitored under Managed Media Converter Chassis Web interface.

Fiber-Optic Networking for ISP, Enterprise, and Home
The PLANET FST-81x provides advanced Media conversion technology- 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX interfaces to fulfill different kinds of demand followed with the growth and expanding of the current network. The FST-81x provides diverse fiber connector types for different network applications. It is very flexible for the FST-81x working as a standalone device or being installed in the central Web Smart / Management Media Converter Chassis for centralized management. When working with the Web Smart / Management Media Converter Chassis, the FST-81x is hot swappable to avoid network downtime. The FST-81x is the ideal solution to build a network solution of FTTH (Fiber to the Home) or FTTC (Fiber to the Curb), and FTTB (Fiber to the Building) for ISPs, campuses and enterprises.
