MC100XL Series,
Fast Ethernet Media Converters

The Allied Telesyn range of Fast Ethernet

Media converters provides a complete family

of conversion devices, allowing users to extend

the size of UTP networks with the use of fibre

cabling. Supporting both SC and ST fibre

connectors, these converters can be used to

extend networks with up to 2km of fibre.

The MissingLink™ feature enables the fibre

optic ports on the media converter to pass

the ‘Link’ status of their connections to each

other. When the media converter detects a

problem with one of the ports, such as the

loss of connection to an end-node, the media

converter shuts down the connection to the

other port, thus notifying the node that the

connection has been lost.

Both media converters feature an internal

MDI/MDI-X switch, allowing the converter to

be connected to either a PC, hub or switch

with a simple UTP cable.The media

converters also allow the installer to test the

integrity of fibre connection, by forcing the

converters to communicate over the fibre

cable.This ‘Link Test’ feature allows installers to

check for cable faults without the need for

expensive fibre-optic test equipment.

Each small media converter is powered by an

external power supply unit for use in

standalone applications. Where multiple media

converters are being used, up to 12

standalone devices can be inserted into a low

cost rackmount 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 rackmount chassis.

Allied Telesyn Fast Ethernet media converters

have a lifetime warranty and free technical

support, ensuring trouble-free installation.
