Cisco Systems offers a family of Fast Ethernet (FE) port adapters optimized for the specific requirements of campus and enterprise backbones and data centers. The Cisco FE port-adapter options provide either one or two ports of 100BaseTX (copper) or 100BaseFX (fiber) Fast Ethernet ports per adapter. Each port can be configured for half- and full-duplex operation.Fast Ethernet single-wide port adapters are available for the Cisco 7200, 7301, 7304, 7500 and 7600 Series routers.Dual-port Fast Ethernet 100BaseTX (PA-2FE-TX)Dual-port Fast Ethernet 100BaseFX (PA-2FE-FX)Cisco Fast Ethernet port adapters may be used in an open port-adapter slot on Cisco 7200 and 7301 Series routers, open bay within Cisco second- and fourth-generation Versatile Interface Processors (VIP2 and VIP4) on Cisco 7500 Series routers or on Cisco 7304 with PA Carrier Card. Portability between these systems simplifies ordering and minimizes overall support and sparing costs.SINGLE- AND DUAL-PORT FAST ETHERNET PORT ADAPTERSThe dual-port Fast Ethernet port adapters (PA-2FE-TX, and PA-2FE-FX) provide the highest packet throughput available for Cisco 7200, 7300, 7500 and 7600 Series routers. These adapters are the preferred choice for campus/enterprise backbones, data centers, campus-to-WAN connections, and high-performance routing between multiple Ethernet virtual LANs (VLANs).The PA-2FE-TX port adapter supports either 10- or 100-Mbps configurations with auto-negotiation. This enables auto-selection of the appropriate network speed and duplex mode. The PA-2FE-FX supports 100-Mbps.Common Features100BaseTX (two pairs Category 5 unshielded twisted pair [UTP]) connectivity through an RJ-45 connector100BaseFX (62.5/125-micron multimode fiber) connectivity through an SC connectorISL support for high-performance routing between multiple Ethernet VLANsIEEE 802.1d TB-VLAN support for transparently bridging VLANsOnline insertion and removal (OIR) within Cisco 7200 and 7300 Series routers, enabling users to remove, add, or replace interface processors on line, increasing system availability; OIR for Cisco 7500 is made possible through inserting or removing the VIP2 or VIP4Each port configurable for either full- or half-duplex operationLEDs to provide quick status checks and problem identificationCiscoWorks network-management integration, including CiscoView applications, to provide device status and monitoring, simple configuration, and minor troubleshootingSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support through standard Management Information Bases (MIBs), enabling visibility and management control on SNMP-supported network-management stationsDual-Port Fast Ethernet Port Adapter (PA-2FE) FeaturesDual-port Fast Ethernet/ISL 100BaseTX port adapter (copper) with RJ-45 connectorsDual-port Fast Ethernet/ISL 100BaseFX port adapter (fiber) with SC connectors (TX and RX) supporting multimode 62.5/125-micron fiber cablesPA-2FE-TX supports auto-negotiation between 10- and 100-MbpsSPECIFICATIONS (PA-2FE)Physical SpecificationsDimensions (H x W x D): 1.0 x 6.5 x 6.0 in.Weight: 1 lb (0.45 kg)Environmental SpecificationsOperating temperature: 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C)Storage temperature: -4° to 149°F (-20° to 65°C)Relative humidity: 10 to 90%, noncondensingPower RequirementsPower consumption: 15 wattsThermal dissipation: 51 Btu/hrMaximum Station-to-Station Cabling Distance100BaseTX, Category 5 UTP: 328 ft (100m)100BaseFX, 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber:400-m half duplex, 2-km full duplexMII: dependent on customer-supplied transceiverNetwork Connectors (per port/interface)100BaseTX: RJ-45 (female), standard 8-wire100BaseFX: SC (female)MII per IEC/SC 48B (sec) 276 [22-1]Optical Power ParametersTransmit output power: -20 to -14 dBmReceiver sensitivity: -31 to -14 dBmOptical source: Class 1 LEDMaximum span: 2 kmWavelength: 1300 nanometersSafety CertificationsUL 1950IEC 60950CSA C22.2 No. 950EN60950TS001AS/NZS 3260EN 60825IEC 6082521CFR 1040Electromagnetic Emissions CertificationsCFR 47, Part 15, Class ACISPR-22 Class AEN55022A Class BVCCI Class BCE MarkingICES 003 Class AAS/NZS3548 Class AEN 55024EN 50082-1ETS 300-386Frame ProcessingTransparent Bridging (802.1d)IP Fragmentation (RFC 793)Translational Bridging (802.1i, 802.1h)Network ManagementSNMP agent v1 (RFC 1155-1157)Ethernet MIB (RFC 1398)IEEE 802.3 LAN specification for carrier sense multiple access collision detect (CSMA/CD)802.1d Spanning-Tree MIBMIB for Network Management of TCP/IP-Based Internets: MIB-II (RFC 1213)Definition of Managed Objects for Bridges (RFC 1493)Evolution of Interfaces Group of MIB-II (RFC 1573)
