MODIFIED NETWORK INTERFACE FOR AN ETHERNET TRANSMISSION USING PLASTIC FIBER OPTIC THAT IS INTERCONNECTED BETWEEN THE PCI BUS AND LOCAL AREA NETWORK.

摘要

A network interface modified for an Ethernet transmission using plastic fiber optic that is interconnected between the PCI Bus and the local area network at 100 Mbps. The present invention is characterized in that it uses an optic transceiver element that operates at a wavelength required for the plastic fiber optic, as well as a coupling of impedances and voltage levels with the physical layer device.
