Black Box 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter

Black Box 10/100 Autosensing Media Converter ... invest in media converters that will be useless when you migrate to Fast Ethernet. If only there were units that could convert 10BASE-T today and 100BASE-TX later.

There are! These BLACK BOX 10-/100-Mbps Autosensing Media Converters are the first converters in the industry that enable you to implement a 10-Mbps fiber network and migrate to 100 Mbps with a single unit. They're ideal for future-proofing your fiber-to-desktop applications. When you upgrade a workstation to 100 Mbps, for example, all you have to do is change the network interface card. No other replacements are required. Talk about planning ahead!

The 10-/100-Mbps Autosensing Media Converters include a Link-Fault Detection feature, which makes the laborious task of fault location easier. If a fault occurs, front-panel LEDs help you isolate cable breaks. The converters also have a push button by the twisted-pair port for selecting a crossover workstation connection or a pass-through repeater/hub/switch connection.
