LONG-REACH GIGABIT ETHERNET
Using multi-mode and single-mode fiber-optic
cabling, Allied Telesyn’s AT-MC1004 and AT-
MC1005 series of Gigabit Ethernet media convert-
ers can extend network segments by up to 70km
by converting 1000T copper connections to
1000SX or LX connections.

COST-EFFECTIVE MIGRATION
Although the expense of Gigabit Ethernet connec-
tions is dropping—in part a result of lower-cost
copper Gigabit network adapters—the distance
limitations of copper cabling make fiber segments a
necessity in most networks. Fortunately, small,
comparatively inexpensive copper to fiber Gigabit
Ethernet media converters present a simple and
cost-effective way of connecting Gigabit Ethernet
LANs over extended distances.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION
To aid installation these media converters support
an auto-sensing MDI/MDIX port, allowing the
media converter to connect directly with either a
switch, PC adapter, or other Gigabit Ethernet
device, via a standard cable.

STAND-ALONE OR RACK-MOUNT
OPERATION
OPERATION
The AT-MC1004 and AT-MC1005 series Gigabit
Ethernet media converters are powered by an
external power supply for use in standalone appli-
cations. When multiple media converters are in
use, a low cost rack-mount chassis can accommo-
date up to 12 stand-alone devices, enabling a single
internal power supply to power all the converters.
In critical applications, the rack-mount chassis can
accommodate a second load-sharing internal
power supply.

MISSINGLINK™
The MissingLink™ feature allows the ports on the
media converter to convey the status of their links.
When the media converter detects a problem
with a port—such as the loss of connection to a
node—it shuts down the connection, thereby noti-
fying the node that the connection has been lost.
The value of this network monitoring and fault
notification is that some hubs and switches are
configured to take action in the event of the loss
of connection on a port. In some cases, the unit is
configured either to seek a redundant path or
alert the network administrator of the problem.
