Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Pure Networking LGC200A, LGC201A and LGC202A are Gigabit Media
Converters. The SFP port of the LGC200A supports hot-swappable, Gigabit SFP
modules. The LGC201A has a dual SC multimode fiber connector, and the LGC202A
has a dual SC single-mode fiber connector.
Use the media converters to join a 1000BASE-TX segment to a 1000BASE-SX or
1000BASE-LX segment on your network, or use them in pairs to extend the
328-feet (100-m) distance limitation of copper-based Ethernet.
Three converter models are available:
• LGC200A: This SFP module media converter transmits/receives data based on the
SFP module that is installed.
• LGC201A: This fiber SC media converter transmits/receives data by 850-nm
short-wave laser over multimode fiber.
• LGC202A: This fiber SC media converter transmits/receives data by 1310-nm
short-wave laser over single-mode fiber.
