Product Short Description
Product Name: Allied Telesyn AT-MX40F/ST-05, Fiber Ethernet Micro Transceiver (10BASE-FL)
Product Introduction: The AT-MX40F/ST-05 is a micro transceiver in the CentreCOM AT-MX40F series, designed to attach directly to the AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) port of Ethernet stations (DTEs) and convert to fiber optic 10BASE-FL media. The “ST” denotes ST connector type, and “05” denotes the specific wavelength/revision variant.

Direct attachment to DTE AUI 15-pin connection
-
SQE Test (heartbeat) switch for IEEE 802.3 compliance testing (default disabled)
-
Diagnostic LEDs for real-time status monitoring
-
Compatible with thin coax (10BASE2), UTP (10BASE-T), and fiber optic (10BASE-FL, FOIRL) LAN systems
Electrical/Mechanical Approvals: FCC, TUV, UL, CSA, IEC 825-1, CE compliant
Environmental Specifications:

-
Relative Humidity: 5% to 80% non-condensing
Installation Requirements: Install directly to the DTE or workstation AUI port. If using an AUI drop cable, ensure it does not exceed 50 m (164 ft.). Select SQE Test/Heartbeat function ON or OFF depending on DTE requirements. Disable SQE Test if connected to an Ethernet repeater. Connect fiber optic cable connectors to the ST-type transceiver, ensuring TX on one side connects to RX on the opposite device.
Usage Precautions: For mechanical fit with some Sun Microsystems SPARCstation and Apple Mac II models, an AUI extender adapter (AT-ADAPT-1) may be required.
