The FRM220-10/100I is a media converter for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX, data transmission over optical fiber media depending on your specific network needs.
The FRM220‑10/100I is a slide‑in media converter that supports 10Base‑T or 100Base‑TX Ethernet on the UTP side and 100Base‑FX fiber on the optical side. It can be installed as a line card in an FRM220 chassis or used as a stand‑alone unit in a single‑slot chassis. The device offers auto‑negotiation, manual mode, link‑fault‑pass‑through, and in‑band management for remote monitoring and configuration.
The manual provides detailed wiring diagrams, console commands for port activation, speed and duplex settings, LED indicator functions, and specifications such as supported standards, power requirements, dimensions, and operating temperature ranges. It also includes an application note on the Link Fault Pass‑Through feature.
