Re: [Debconf-discuss] fiber-to-copper gigabit media converter needed

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br>]

One thing to keep in mind: two-port switch-based opto-electrical
convertors will do 10/100/1000 auto-negotiation on the copper side, but
have MAC table size limitations.

Proper transceiver-based opto-electrical converters can only do 1000-FD
on the copper side (must match the 1000Base-SX fiber side), but are far
less likely to cause problems.
