Allied Telesis MC1000 Series unmanaged Gigabit media converters are designed to extend the distance of your network by interconnecting LAN devices that are physically separated by large distances. These media converters have the functionality to connect any managed/unmanaged 1000Mbps (1Gbps) switch or hub using standard 1000T RJ-45 connections and convert the signal to 1000Base fiber via a fixed ST or SFP connector. The pluggable optics feature allows for flexible network configurations of reach while reducing the number of products for sparing and inventory.
Extend the Distance of Ethernet
For the Allied Telesis AT-MC1004, the fiber optic port has a fixed multi-mode fiber 1000SX (SC) connector and a maximum operating distance of 550m.
Each AT-MC1008 media converter features a 1000T twisted pair port and an SFP port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The SFP port has a maximum operating distance dependent on the SFP.
Cost-effective Migration
Although the provisioning of Gigabit Ethernet connections is becoming relatively inexpensive, thanks in part to the availability of lower-cost copper Gigabit network adapters, the distance limitations of copper cabling make fiber segments a necessity in most networks. Small, comparatively inexpensive copper-to-fiber Gigabit Ethernet media converters present a simple and very cost-effective way of connecting Gigabit Ethernet LANs over extended distances.
Standalone or Rack-mounted
Each small media converter is powered by an external power supply unit for use in standalone applications. Where multiple media converters are used, up to 12 standalone devices can be inserted into a low-cost AT- MCR12 rack-mount chassis, allowing all the converters to be powered by a single internal power supply. In critical applications, a second load sharing internal power supply can be installed into the rack-mount chassis.
Hassle-Free Support
All Allied Telesis Ethernet media converters offer free technical support, ensuring trouble-free installation.
