The miConverter S/GXT Gigabit fiber to 10/100/1000BASE-T and the S/FXT Fast Ethernet fiber to 10/100/1000BASE-T media converters are ideal for mobile applications where light weight, compact size and low power are critical requirements. Weighing less than 2.5 oz. (72 grams), and about the length of a standard house key, the miConverter S-Series converters can conveniently slip into any pocket or laptop carrying case for easy portability.

These ultra-compact media converters can be USB powered, enabling fiber connectivity to locations where AC or DC power is unavailable, such as field-deployed fiber-to-the-laptop and military applications. Fiber is run directly to the laptop, where it is converted to copper UTP and connected to a laptop RJ-45 port with a standard Ethernet patch cable. Power is supplied to the media converter by the laptop"s USB port using a standard USB cable, eliminating the need for an electrical outlet.

The 6550-FK is the direct replacement for the discontinued FlexSwitch Model 600XC 1Fx + 4U. The 6550-FK replacement kit consists of one iConverter 10/100Base-Tx to 100Base-Fx Media Converter Module and one iConverter 4Tx Switch Module installed in a iConverter 2-Module Chassis.

FlexSwitch 6551-2 Fast Ethernet Media Converter provides auto-negotiating 10/100 UTP ports with auto-crossover that enables easy attachment to hubs, switches and workstations. The 100Base-Fx fiber port supports half or full duplex operation.
