Overview and Description
The FlexPoint
™
100Fx/Tx converts between Fast
Ethernet 100Base-Fx fiber and 100Base-Tx twisted pair
(RJ45 UTP) cabling. It operates in half-duplex (HD) or
full-duplex (FD). The following multimode (MM) and
single-mode (SM) models are described here:

Installation and Configuration
Power Adapter Notice:
1. When used in a stand-alone configuration, this
product is intended to be used only with a Listed
Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked “Class 2” and rated
at 9Vdc, 1 Amp.
2. This product should always be used only with its
enclosed Power Unit.
WARNING!
Before plugging the Power Adapter to any wall
outlet or AC power source, verify that the power
on the unit is appropriate for your AC line voltage
source.
Mounting and Cable Attachment:
The FlexPoint 100Fx/Tx can be individually wall-mounted
using a wall-mounting kit, rack-mounted using a 5-position
space-saver shelf, or inserted in a 14-position power-
redundant FlexPoint Powered Chassis. When wall-
mounting or shelf-mounting, attach the power adapter unit.
Attach the unit’s RJ45 UTP via a category 5 cable to a
100Base-Tx Fast Ethernet device.
Attach the units’s fiber via cable to a 100Base-Fx Fast
Ethernet device. The FlexPoint transmit (Tx) must attach
to the receive side on the other device; the receive (Rx)
must attach to the transmit.
Switch Settings:
“RJ45 Cross-Over” Switch: When connecting the UTP to
a hub or switch, set to “Straight-Through” (factory setting). When
connecting to a workstation, set it to “Cross-Over.”
“Auto-Negotiation/Manual” Switch: When in “Manual”
(factory setting), the FlexPoint operation is selected by
the “Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex” switch. When in “Auto-
Negotiation”, the FlexPoint automatically selects full or
half duplex operation depending on the “Full-Duplex/Half-
Duplex” switch position and the features of the device
connected to its UTP cable.
“Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex” Switch: When the “Auto-
Negotiation/Manual” switch is in “Manual” position, the “Full-
Duplex/Half-Duplex” switch determines the type of duplex
operation mode. When the “Auto-Negotiation/Manual”
switch is in “Auto-Negotiation” position, the “Full-Duplex/
Half-Duplex” switch advertises its setting to the device
connected to the UTP port. When set to “Half-Duplex”
(factory setting), the FlexPoint will operate in half duplex.
When set to “Full-Duplex” the FlexPoint will operate in full-
duplex or half-duplex depending on the features supported
by the other device.
Half-duplex must be used when connecting to a hub.
Full-duplex can be used when connecting switches or
between a switch and a full-duplex workstation.
