The Data Connect
2178FEE Fiber Ethernet Extender

The Data Connect 2178FEE is a 10/100Base Ethernet to 100Base-FX fiber Ethernet extender designed for extending 10/100 Base-T Ethernet over fiber. The Data Connect 2178 Fiber Ethernet Extender supports auto-negotiation and manual mode on the twisted pair (TP) copper Ethernet side. With advanced features like LLP (Link Loss Pass-thru), FEF (Far-End Fault), Switch mode (store & forward, 1600 Bytes maximum frame size) or Ethernet extender mode (100/Full to 100/Full, Low latency, 9K Bytes packet support); the Data Connect 2178FEE is designed for customer premises equipment in metro LAN, campus, enterprise, and fiber to the building, curb, cabinet, house, neighborhood, and premise applications. By offering simple DIP switching settings, this Ethernet Extender can provide complete control over all Ethernet Extender settings include duplex and speed configuration. The Data Connect 2178FEE completely transparent to Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols including IEEE 802.1q, VLAN tag, Q in Q STP, IPX, IP etc.
