The 18-channel managed Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter Rack, FMC-1800 converts Ethernet copper 100/1000Base-TX to SFPs working at 100Mbps or 1000Mbps. FMC-1800 can connect to any RJ-45 Ethernet switch and supports any third-party standard SFP module from any SFP vendor. With different kinds of fiber optic media, both multi-mode and single mode fiber are available as well as BiDi which allows bi-directional transmissions using only a single fiber to extend the distance of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks. With SNMP and Web-based management, the administrator can monitor, configure and control the activity of FMC-1800 remotely.
