FIBER CONNECTIONS
The Allied Telesyn range of Ethernet media converters
provides a complete family of conversion devices, allow-
ing users to extend the size of UTP networks with the use
of fiber cabling. Supporting all major fiber connectors,
with support for both multi and single-mode fiber, these
converters can be used to extend networks with up to
15km of fiber.
AUTO-NEGOTIATION AND  MISSINGLINK
TM
When connecting media converters to auto-negotiating
Fast Ethernet switches, these media converters (except
the AT-MC13 & AT-MC14) will automatically connect
the link in either Ethernet Full or Half-Duplex mode,
allowing the link to be established with the greatest
bandwidth. In addition, the Missing Link feature (except
AT-MC15) allows switches or hubs with redundant link
capability to be inter-connected with these media con-
verters, as a failure in one fiber link will be signalled to
the switch, allowing the second link to become active.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
All the media converters with a UTP connection feature an
internal MDI/MDIX 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 the fiber connection, by forcing the con-
verters to communicate over the fiber cable. This “Link
Test” feature allows installers to check for cable faults with-
out the need for expensive fiberoptic test equipment.
STANDALONE OR RACKMOUNTED
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 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 rackmount chassis.
