Product Features  
Product Features - Continued  
Auto-Negotiation  
Full-Duplex Network  
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the media converter to automatically  
configure itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link.  
The media converter broadcasts its speed (10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s) and duplex  
capabilities (full or half) to the other devices and negotiates the best mode of  
operation. Auto-Negotiation allows quick and easy installation because the  
optimal link is established automatically. No user intervention is required to  
determine the best mode of operation.  
In a full-duplex network, maximum cable lengths are determined by the type  
of cables that are used. See page 1 (front cover) for the cable specifications  
for the different SBFTF10xx-15x models.  
The 512-Bit Rule does not apply in a full-duplex network.  
Half-Duplex Network (512-Bit Rule)  
A scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device is  
a case where the user may want to disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance,  
the mode of operation will drop to the least common denominator between  
the two devices (e.g. 10 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature gives the  
user the ability to force the connection to the desired speed and duplex mode  
of operation.  
In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the  
round trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet collision domain. (A  
collision domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g. a  
terminal, switch, or router.)  
The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by  
calculating the round-trip delay in bit-times (BT) of a particular collision  
domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BT, the path is good.  
AutoCross™  
For more information on the 512-Bit Rule, see the white paper titled “Collision  
When the AutoCross feature is activated, it allows either straight-through  
(MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) copper cables to be used when connecting to  
10Base-T or 100Base-TX devices. AutoCross determines the characteristics of  
the connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless if  
the copper cable is MDI or MDI-X configuration. (This feature does not  
require operator intervention.)

Far-End Fault  
Gauge  
24 to 22 AWG  
Attenuation  
11.5 dB/100m @ 5-10 MHz  
When a fault occurs on an incoming fiber link (1), the media converter  
transmits a Far-End Fault signal on the outgoing fiber link (2). In addition the  
Far-End Fault signal also activates the Link Pass-Through feature, which, in  
turn, disables the link on the copper portion of the network (3) and (4).  
Category 5: (minimum requirement for 100 Mb/s operation)  
Gauge  
Attenuation  
24 to 22 AWG  
22.0 dB /100m @ 100 MHz  
• Straight-through(MDI) or crossover (MDI-X) cable may be used.  
• Shielded (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) may be used.  
• Pins 1&2 and 3&6 are the two active pairs in an Ethernet network .  
• Use only dedicated wire pairs for the active pins:  
(e.g., blue/white & white/blue, orange/white & white/orange, etc.)  
• Do not use flat or silver satin wire.
