Making Your Net  
Work
Better — Since 1988
Dissimilar media types, protocols and duplex settings can make 
LAN internetworking and Fiber-to-the-Subscriber projects 
challenging undertakings. For example, if the service provider 
network infrastructure is 100 Mbps or Gigabit fiber but the 
customer wants to receive a standard 10 Mbps Ethernet 
interface to their LAN, making the connection between the 
two network segments can be difficult. The complexity of 
today's mixed media networks and the increasing demand 
for bandwidth requires access equipment that is both flexible 
in connecting different media types and scalable between 
different speeds.
Convert speed, media and duplex mode: 
The MediaLinX series of switching media converters offers 
service providers and enterprise networks unparalleled 
flexibility in connecting copper-based networks to Fast Ethernet 
or Gigabit fiber optic infrastructures. The SNMP-manageable 
MediaLinX converters allow device managers to use Auto 
Negotiation functionality on the twisted pair port for plug-
and-play operation, or to manually configure the port for the 
desired speed and duplex mode. What's more, you can even 
set the fiber port for Half- or Full-Duplex operation (10/100 
Mbps only).  The MediaLinX series includes two models:
iMcV-MediaLinX: 
One 10/100 twisted pair port with an RJ-45 connector
• 
One 100 Mbps fiber port with ST or SC 
• 
iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX: 
One 10/100/1000 twisted pair port with an RJ-45 
• 
connector
One 1000 Mbps fiber port with SC connector(s)
• 
The MediaLinX series also includes troubleshooting features 
and LEDs to assist in network diagnostics as well as make 
isolating cable breaks easier should they occur.  In addition, hot-
swappable MediaLinX modules significantly reduce operation 
costs by allowing other modules within the same chassis to 
remain up and running during product upgrades, maintenance 
and troubleshooting.
