The highly flexible design of ZyXEL ES-2108-F adapts to different environment to simplify fiber installations. Since it accepts the 100BASE-BX (bi-directional) fiber transceiver capable of transmitting with single strands of fiber, the transmission capacity can be expanded immediately without additional cost while maximizing the value of existing fiber plants. For legacy fiber environments, the ES-2108-F also takes 100BASE-FX/LC transceivers to ease the deployment. In addition to fiber uplinks, the ES-2108-F comes with 8 100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN ports with full wire-speed Layer 2 switching function as well.
