Basic Connections! Media Conversion Family ==================================================================================================
BC-GTXX1 –	Gigabit Ethernet Copper-to-Fiber Converters
BC-GSXLX1 –	Gigabit Ethernet Fiber-to-Fiber Converters
BC-TFXX –	Fast Ethernet Copper-to-Fiber Converters

Basic Connections! is a family of very economical, simple to deploy, no-frills Media Converters that provide basic Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections. While some of the rich array of features found on standard Canary models may not be present, they provide solid performance, value, and utility. Each group has models that support either UTP-to-Fiber or Fiber-to-Fiber conversion, providing very economical links between Twisted-Pair segments, low-cost multi-mode fiber optic segments, and single-mode Fiber segments. They are ideal for data intensive backbones in the enterprise or across the campus where cost is paramount and/or where major structural changes to the network architecture are expected in a relatively short time.

Basic Connections! Fast Ethernet UTP-to-Fiber converters interconnect Twisted-Pair and fiber optic segments to extend Fast Ethernet links. They are ideal for connecting user desktops with low-cost workgroup switches or for small office switch-to-switch links.

Standard multi-mode converters provide transmission distances of 2000 meters over 62.5/125 ηm fiber.

Standard single-mode models provide transmission distances ranging from 20 to 40 kilometers over 9.0 ηm single-mode fiber.
