Product details
Foxcom PL75E Optical Ethernet Link is a Platinum Series Ethernet transceiver that brings 10/100 Base Ethernet capability to Sat-Light and Platinum system environments. The unit provides a practical fiber media conversion path for extending Ethernet data across single-mode optical fiber in integrated RF over Fiber and communication infrastructure layouts. The PL75E Optical Ethernet Link is built for installations where copper Ethernet needs to be extended through optical fiber while keeping the network interface simple for system integration. The twisted-pair side uses an RJ-45 interface, while the optical side uses SC-PC connectivity, giving engineers a clear conversion path between Ethernet equipment and the fiber link. The unit supports auto-negotiation on both fiber and twisted-pair media, along with MDI/MDI-X auto crossover for easier installation. Its packet switching, store-and-forward operation, broadcast storm protection, and oversized packet support make it suitable for rack-based systems, control networks, monitoring links, and Ethernet transport within Platinum Series RF over Fiber environments.

Frequently asked questions
When is the PL75E used?
The PL75E is suited to installations where 10/100 Mbps Ethernet data needs to be extended over optical fiber within Sat-Light, Platinum, RF over Fiber, or communication infrastructure environments.
What network traffic handling features are included?
The PL75E includes Layer 2 packet switching, store-and-forward forwarding, oversized packet support up to 1916 bytes, and broadcast storm protection.
Which PL75E model is suitable for longer fiber runs?
The PL75E-D-XXXX supports 40 km fiber links using a CWDM laser configuration. The PL75E-S-1310 and PL75E-S-1550 models support 20 km fiber links.
What makes the PL75E suitable for networked infrastructure?
The unit includes Layer 2 packet switching, store-and-forward forwarding, oversized packet supports up to 1916 bytes, and broadcast storm protection for controlled Ethernet traffic handling.
How are the components PL75E integrated?
The copper Ethernet side uses RJ-45 connectivity, while the optical path uses SC-PC connectors. These interfaces should be matched with the surrounding network and fiber infrastructure.
