T
he PLANET FT-80X is Fast Ethernet Bridge 100Base-FX fiber to 10/100Base-
TX shielded twisted pair (STP) converter. It supports selectable for half-duplex
and full-duplex operations and supports a variety of fiber options. The
converter auto-adapts to the highest level of performance supported by the
device connected to the STP port. When the device is a switch or a
workstation that supports full duplex, the converter adapts to the full-duplex
mode and provides an effective 200Mbps bandwidth. When the connected
device is a hub or a workstation that supports only half duplex, the converter
adapts to the half-duplex mode and provides the nominal 100Mbps
bandwidth. An override switch provides total manual control over the half/full-
duplex operation, in fiber-optic interface. The fiber port of converter operates
at 1310 nm and uses ST, SC, MT-RJ, VF-45 connectors. Multi-mode models
that support distances up to 2 km and single-mode models that support
distances up to 15/35/50 km are available.

The FT-80x series are with LFP (Link Fault Pass Through function) (LLCF/LLR)
and the DIP Switch design. LLCF/LLR can immediately alarm administrators the
problem of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitor the net.
The DIP Switch provides disable or enable the LFP function.

LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) means when a device connected to the
converter and the TP line loss the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the
link of transmit. LLR (Link Loss Return) means when a device connected to the
converter and the fiber line loss the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect
the link of transmit. Both can immediately alarm administrators the problem
of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitor the net.
