The OET 1514 is a compact three-port Ethernet switch, designed to extend the reach of electrical Ethernet signals over long distances using a constant (fixed) high speed 1Gbit/s optical transceiver speed. When paired with another OET 1514 at the receiving end, the wired Ethernet signal can be extended over distances up to 10km (OET 1514 singlemode) or 300m (OET 1514 MM multimode) using two fibre links. The fibre port is fully IEEE 802.3z compliant, so a single OET 1514 can be combined with any IEEE compliant switch or network adapter provided that the equipment interface supports the fibre type, and the transmit and receive wavelengths.
The modules have two standard RJ45 electrical Ethernet ports and a duplex fibre port; they are three-port devices. However, when a pair are connected together by a duplex fibre connection, the combined pair act as a four-port Ethernet switch. Each electrical Ethernet port can be set for automatic speed detection, 10, 100, 1000Mbits/s or forced to 10Mbits/s and each port can use auto crossover detection or be forced manually if needed. These functions are available using a DIP switch. LEDs indicate port speed and activity for the electrical ports and TX, RX active for the fibre port.
