Media Converters
AT-MC103/4 Series,
Fast Ethernet Media Converters
Fibre connections
The Allied Telesyn range of Fast Ethernet
Media converters provides a complete family
of conversion devices, allowing users to extend
the size of UTP and multi-mode fibre
networks with the use of single-mode fibre
cabling. Supporting SC connected single-mode
fibre, these converters can be used to extend
networks up to a distance of 100km.
Auto-negotiation & MissingLink™
When connecting media converters to auto-
negotiating Fast Ethernet switches, these media
converters will automatically connect the link
in either full or half-duplex mode, allowing the
link to be established with the greatest
bandwidth. Alternatively, the MissingLink™
feature allows accurate reporting to network
management systems as well as allowing
devices with redundant link capability to be
inter-connected with these media converters,
as a failure in one fibre 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/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
fibreoptic test equipment.
Standalone or rackmount
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.
Hassle free support
Allied Telesyn Fast Ethernet media converters
have a lifetime warranty and free technical
support, ensuring trouble-free installation.
