Hi,
have been asked about adding 10/100 Mb ethernet transport between a couple of units, the connection between wich can be only by means of fiber optics.
I'm evaluating having a standard, commercial router with SFP cage at one side of the link, and a fiber to rj45 adapter board at the other.
I may go for commercially available boards for this side too, but have some space constrains that seem impeding implementation of the smaller ones i googled out.
The question is: will a custom board built as follows solve? Or should it mandatorily include other logic like memories, MACS, etc.?
-1 SFP attached to say CHANNEL 1 FX TRX port of one (DP83849IF, DP83849I-) phyter series chip
-1 x RJ45 (with magnetics) attached to say CHANNEL 2 TX TRX port of the same chip
- MRII interfaces of the channels cross connected
- a small MCU for configuration (wether not feasible simply by strapped pins options)
Thanks Francesco
