AT-2700FX and AT-2701FX Series
The adapters in the AT-2700FX Series are:
ˆ AT-2700FX/SC
ˆ AT-2700FX/ST
ˆ AT-2700FX/MT
ˆ AT-2700FX/VF
The adapters in the AT-2701FX Series are:
ˆ AT-2701FX/SC
ˆ AT-2701FX/ST
ˆ AT-2701FX/MT

These adapters feature a single fiber optic port with a fixed operating
speed of 100 Mbps with half- or full-duplex operation. The port has a
maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers in full-duplex mode and uses
50/125 or 62.5/125 micron (core/cladding) multimode fiber optic cable.
Maximum operating distance will be less for half-duplex mode.
These adapters are appropriate in network environments where the
distance between an end node and an Ethernet hub or switch is more than
100 meters, the maximum allowed for twisted pair cable, or in
manufacturing areas or other heavy equipment environments where
electromagnetic emissions could interfere with nodes connected with
twisted pair cable.

version and a low profile version for systems that accept only low
profile adapters.

profile system. The adapter comes with two brackets, one for a
