Installing the 100FX Module (Optional)
Kingston offers two optional plug-in modules to support 100BASE-FX Fiber
Optic cabling with either SC (Subscriber Connector) or ST (Straight Tip)
connector types. Model KNE100FX/RSC supports SC-type connectors. Model
KNE100FX/RST supports ST-type connectors.
To upgrade your Fast EtheRx Stackable Fast Ethernet hub with either of the
100BASE-FX plug-in modules, follow the directions below. The procedure
requires a Philips head screwdriver.
1. Locate the faceplate labeled “100FX Fiber Module” on the rear
panel of the hub.
2. Remove the four philips head screws to remove the faceplate.
3. Next, insert the plug-in module into the open slot. Press firmly to
secure the module into the socket connector.
4. Re-install the four screws to secure the faceplate to the hub.
5. The FX/ON LED will display a solid light if properly installed.
Figure 4 below illustrates the KNE100FX/RSC with SC-type connectors
