Transition Networks NDM-FTX series
fast Ethernet dual media NIC (Network
Interface Card) provides a 10/100Base-
TX copper port and a 100Base-FX fiber
port for installation flexibility in a
mixed-media environment. The dual
ports can also provide redundancy for
critical applications. These NICs come in standard and low profile form factors, and
include driver support for a variety of operating systems.

Compliance Information
CISPR22/EN55022 Class A, CE Mark, CISPR22/EN55022 Class A + EN55024, CE Mark
FCC regulations
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at the user's own expense.
Canadian regulations
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise for digital apparatus set out
on the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables
aux appareils numériques de la Class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage
radioélectrique édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.
European regulations
Caution: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Achtung! Dieses ist ein Gerät der Funkstörgrenzwertklasse A. In Wohnbereichen können bei
Betrieb dieses Gerätes Rundfunkstörungen auftreten. In diesem Fäll ist der Benutzer für
Gegenmaßnahmen verantwortlich.
Attention! Ceci est un produit de Classe A. Dans un environment domestique, ce produit risque de
créer des interférences radioélectriques, il appartiendra alors à l'utilsateur de prende les measures
spécifiques appropriées.
