About This Part
The FAST FC14B-20 is a specialized Fast Ethernet media converter designed for robust and extended data transmission over single-mode, single-strand fiber optic cable. This unit facilitates the conversion of electrical Fast Ethernet signals (100 Megabit) into optical signals, enabling connectivity over significant distances up to 20 kilometers. Its unique single-fiber operation, utilizing distinct transmit (1310nm) and receive (1550nm) wavelengths, optimizes fiber infrastructure by allowing bi-directional communication over a single strand, a critical feature for environments with limited fiber availability. Typical applications include extending Fast Ethernet networks between buildings, connecting remote network segments, or providing last-mile connectivity in telecom and campus environments where long-haul, cost-effective fiber links are required. Key technical specifications for the FC14B-20 highlight its 100 Megabit per second data rate, support for single-mode single-fiber operation, and an impressive transmission range of 20 kilometers. The device employs Bi-directional (BiDi) optical technology, transmitting at 1310nm and receiving at 1550nm, ensuring efficient use of a single fiber strand. Furthermore, its "1 optical 4 electrical" configuration indicates it likely functions as a compact multi-port media converter or switch, featuring one fiber optic port and four electrical Fast Ethernet ports. Revo Distribution Limited strategically stocks refurbished telecom and data centre equipment such as the FAST FC14B-20 to offer B2B clients reliable, high-performance, and cost-effective solutions for extending and optimizing their legacy or specialized networking infrastructure. Our commitment is to provide quality components that meet demanding operational requirements.
