The AUI to BNC Transceiver (LE1601A) enables you to connect a legacy Ethernet device with an AUI connector to Thin Ethernet coaxial cable. It extends coaxial cable segments up to 606.8 feet (185 m) without a repeater. This transceiver complies with the 10BASE2 specification for Thin Ethernet networks. Or connect your legacy Ethernet device to a multimode 10BASE-FL fiberoptic network or device using the AUI to 10BASE-FL Transceiver (LE1603A). The 10BASE-FL segments can be up to 1.2 miles (1.9 km) long. The LE1603A fits the requirements of the 10BASE-FL Ethernet standard. Fiberoptic segment connects here On the AUI side of the transceivers, you can use a standard AUI cable (50 feet [15.2 m] long) to connect to the Ethernet device, or you can directly mount the transceiver to the DTE. Both models feature an SQE (Signal Quality Error) switch that enables or disables Signal Quality Error (heartbeat). SQE must be enabled when connecting the transceiver to a LAN card, bridge, or router. This test must be disabled when connecting to a hub or repeater. The BNC model has a 2position slide switch that sets SQE. On the fiber model, SQE is set via a 4-position DIP switch. LEDs tell you network status at a glance. The AUI to 10BASE-FL Transceiver also features a link integrity test that automatically checks fiberoptic cables. 724-746-5500 blackbox.com 2of 3 #10418 3 of 3 4/25/07 #10418 724-746-5500 blackbox.com Recognize any of these situations? • You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support. • The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer. • You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you. • It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed. According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations— and certainly isn’t worth what they paid. At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support. You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just the right component for your application. Don’t waste time and money— call Black Box today.
