McPC Series Media Converters are ideal for Fiber-to-the-
Desktop (FTTD) applications and for companies with frequent
workstation moves and changes. Installing inside a PC or
workstation, and plugging into an adjacent network interface
card (NIC), these compact units eliminate the need to place
Media Converters on top of desks or computers, reducing
clutter of cords and adapters at the workspace.
The McPC series includes:
• 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (TX/FX) - Designed to connect
to NIC cards running at Fast Ethernet speeds
• 10/100 Mbps - A media converter that auto-senses the
connected device’s rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and
duplex mode (Half-Duplex/Full-Duplex)
• 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet (TX/SX or /LX) - Converts
1000 Mbps over copper to 1000 Mbps over fiber. Ideal
for bringing Gigabit speed connectivity to the desktop
McPC converters accommodate crossover or pass through
cables, with either a pushbutton MDI/MDIX switch or
AutoCross, a feature which automatically selects the correct
operating mode. Units also feature handy status LEDS to assist
in network diagnostics and troubleshooting. In addition, McPC
TX/FX and McPC 10/100 include troubleshooting features that
make it easy to isolate fiber breaks.
