Ethernet-based, Standalone Media Converters 
McBasic Series
When simple, individual, copper-to-fiber or copper-to-coax conversions 
are required, along with advanced troubleshooting features, installing 
McBasic Series standalone media converters is the perfect, cost-effective 
solution.
The McBasic’s small, table-top design and durability make it 
perfect for installation anywhere space is limited.  Additionally, 
the McBasic comes with an internal AC power supply.  This 
feature significantly increases reliability over products that use 
bulky, external AC/DC power transformers.  The McBasic series 
includes:
The McBasic includes troubleshooting features such as LinkLoss, 
FiberAlert, Transparency and Link Fault Detection that make 
isolating fiber breaks easier should they occur.  The McBasic 
also features either AutoCross or switch crossover/pass-through 
switch on twisted pair connections, termination switch on BNC 
ports, and diagnostic LEDs.  Most McBasic units are available for 
single-strand fiber which can effectively double the capacity of 
fiber by allowing two individual channels to share one strand of 
fiber; Full-Duplex data travels on different wavelengths — 1310 
nm and 1550 nm, for example.
Autosensing 10/100 Mbps McBasic converters offer significant 
advantages over regular 10 and 100 Mbps converters.  An 
ideal choice for both enterprise and service provider networks, 
10/100 converters save time and money when deployed 
at the host and remote site.  Enterprise networks planning 
a migration path from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps often deploy 
autosensing converters, then upgrade when ready and units will 
automatically adapt to increased speed. Service providers with 
10 or 100 Mbps links to customer premises can sell customers 
more bandwidth without upgrading the converters at the POP 
and the customer network edge.
