fiber-what?! fiber optic on the sun ray 2fs!

i’m just mentioning it here so i won’t forget it again… which will likely happen in about five minutes up to four hours - depends on the distraction level i’m forced with tonight. ;) a set of mt-rj fiber optical connectors - image courtesy of www.networkcables.com

as we all know the sun ray 2fs virtual display comes with a copper and fiber-optical port for networking. i was just searching for the specs of the fiber port again, and it turns out that the sun ray 2fs comes with a “mt-rj” type optical connector which connects to a 100base-fx fiber network. had to write this down so i won’t forget it!

just to make it clear: the sun ray does not support a hot failover if you plug in both connectors (rj45 for copper and mt-rj for fiber). it will take the first it gets hold of and then turns off the other port! if you plan to have both options on your desk to swap in case of one going down you’re forced to restart the unit to get the other port working.
