Farallon Announces Affordable Plug-and-Play Fiber Connectivity

New Fast EtherTX-FX Media Converter provides flexible, low-cost
alternative to more expensive built-in fiber solutions.

SAN LEANDRO, California, February 17th, 1999 - Farallon today
announced a new fiber converter for 100Base-TX devices. The Fast
EtherTX-FX Media Converter easily connects 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet
switches and hubs that utilize unshielded twisted pair copper
cabling, to 100Mb fiber cabling. This new fiber solution from
Farallon provides customers with a flexible, low-cost fiber
alternative to more expensive switching solutions with built-in fiber.

"Schools look for affordable plug 'n play solutions to connect
100Base-TX hubs and switches in the network closet to a fiber
backbone," states Kirk Langer, Internet Services Manager at Lincoln
Public Schools, NE. "Farallon's Fast EtherTX-FX Media Converter
provides a flexible, easy-to-install solution at a very attractive
price."

"The Fast EtherTX-FX Media Converter allows customers to interconnect
their 100Mb devices over longer distances using fiber optic cabling,"
says Farallon Product Manager, Ken Alan. "This is much more cost
effective than buying solutions with fiber connectivity built-in."
