The FC5000 is a switching media converter operating in store and forward mode. The FC5000 supports auto-negotiation, and auto MDI/MDIX cross-over switching on the copper interface.
To ensure reliable operation, the FC5000 supports Link Loss Forwarding, whereby a fault on the fibre will automatically force a link down on the copper port to indicate to the attached device that there is a link problem.
The FC5000 supports the transmission of Jumbo frames.
The FC5000 is provided with as standard an SFP module with LC connector supporting either 1000Base-SX for 550 metres operation over multi-mode fibre, or 1000Base-LX for up to 10km over a single-mode fibre. However the FC5000 can be supplied without an SFP for more specialist applications. A wide variety of SFPs are available separately, please contact us for pricing and availability of SFP modules including: 100BaseF, Bi Directional, 1000Base-X and CWDM.
The FC5000 is available in a choice of 100-250 VAC or -48 VDC integrated power supplies.
The FC5000 can easily be rack mounted in either a 1U two unit rack mount kit , a 6U eighteen unit rack mount kit.
The FC5000 is part of a range of fibre conversion products from Metrodata. The wider product range offers fibre conversion solutions ranging from 300 baud RS-232, via Nx64kbps rates, through 2Mbps and up to 155Mbps for electrical to fibre conversion; or 155Mbps, 622Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet for fibre mode or wavelength conversion.
This application shows a pair of Gigabit Ethernet LAN switches connected over a multimode fibre using a pair of FC5000 units. This multimode fibre could be within a building (e.g. between two PBXs at either end of a large hotel), or across a campus (e.g. between two departmental buildings of a University).
This application shows a pair of Gigabit Ethernet LAN switches connected over a singlemode fibre using a pair of FC5000 units. This singlemode fibre could be between buildings (e.g. across a business park), or across a city (e.g. over a rented fibre).
