The FSW-2104 is a perfect low cost way to expand Fast Ethernet networks and share a single fiber optic uplink connection. 100BaseFX optical uplink port can be ordered either multimode, for in-building networking, but also singlemode and even WDM single strand for connections of longer distance, up to 20Km. The FSW2104-SSC015 model is having a single-mode 9/125um optical module for 100Base-FX fiber connections for up to 15Km distance. The optical connector is dual SC. Special versions for long-haul single-mode and single strand fiber are also available. Typical applications for FSW-2104 are in-building Ethernet networks with normal data traffic load. The FSW-2104 is a good replacement for single port fiber optic media converters, eliminating need of installing an extra switch to connect more than one host to the fiber network. FSW-2104 does offer auto MDI/MDIX detection on copper ports and supports Broadcast Storm Protection and both full duplex and half duplex operations. It has a 1K MAC address entry table and a 512Kb buffer size, which makes it suitable in moderate data traffic LAN's. Additional information on FSW2104-SSC015: PDF Datasheet; PDF Installation Manual
