About the McPC MediaLinX
McPC MediaLinX is a low-cost, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion, PC card media
converter. It converts 10/100 twisted pair copper to fiber, and is available in ST
or SC connectors in a variety of wavelengths (multi-mode and single mode). The
fiber port always operates at 100 Mbps FDX; the copper port auto-senses the
connected device's speed and duplex mode: 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and HDX or
FDX (including Flow Control).
Install McPC MediaLinX into any PC with a standard PCI slot. McPC MediaLinX
includes one RJ-45 connector for the twisted pair port and a pair of ST or SC
connectors. It also includes LEDs for each port and a 4-pin peripheral power
supply connector.
