The EC-SFP1000-FE/GE-LFP media converter is designed for connecting network segments based on copper twisted pair and segments constructed with fiber optic cable.
When using media converters to unite two network segments, issues may arise with automatic detection of link failures (e.g., in protocols like STP). The EC-SFP1000-FE/GE-LFP media converter supports the Link Fault Pass-through (LFP) function, which is used for monitoring network connection errors. Monitoring is carried out using network devices with management capabilities, such as network switches and routers.
