Media converters connect different types of 
cabling media, extending transmission distances 
well beyond the capabilities of twisted pair wiring, 
and allowing for integration of new fiber-based 
equipment into non-fiber legacy networks. 

 

Conversely, media converters also allow operators 
to preserve their investment in legacy copper-port 
hardware as more and more legacy copper 
networks are updated with fiber.

IMC Networks’ media conversion solutions 
are available in a variety of form factors and 
configurations, from low-cost standalone units to 
rack-mountable modules designed for high-density 
applications.

Optical Access and FTTx solutions from IMC 
Networks integrate traditional media converters 
with advanced remote management and configu-
ration capabilities, allowing service providers to 
deliver next-generation, managed, high-speed 
Internet, Ethernet Private Line and Transparent 
LAN services to businesses, multi-dwelling 
units (MDUs) and residential customers.  FTTx 
solutions are also used by Enterprise customers 
when managed media converters are needed on 
campus networks.  

IMC Networks’ solutions are available in a wide 
variety of form factors and configurations, ranging 
from standalone units (CPE), to rack-mountable 
modules designed for high-density applications.

IMC Networks’ fiber optic media conversion and 
optical access solutions can make provisioning 
of fiber-based services less complex and more 
affordable.

Modular, chassis-based Central Office (CO) 
solutions accommodate a variety of managed 
Ethernet, VDSL, T1/E1/J1, DS3/E3 fiber extension 
and FTTx applications from the same platform.  
Intelligent Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) 
solutions allow service providers to control, 

manage and monitor the entire access network 
and end points without a visit to the customer’s 
location, reducing operational costs while 
providing capabilities not commonly found on 
other Ethernet media converters.

Whether providing Fiber-to-the-Home, Business 
or Premises, IMC Networks’ solutions support 
distances up to 100 km, and offer single-strand 
and CWDM optical interfaces.  The products work 
seamlessly with other manufacturers’ products 
to maximize service providers’ investment in the 
existing equipment and fiber network infrastruc-
ture.

Fiber optic media converters make a crucial 
connection between different cabling types and 
speeds.  Media converters are the most flexible, 
cost-effective solution for extending network 
distances and integrating fiber optic cabling into 
twisted pair structured cabling systems.  They 
increase performance of active equipment and 
also accelerate legacy network segments to 
Gigabit speeds.

With solutions ranging from simple, standalone 
converters to intelligent, SNMP managed 
systems, IMC Networks provides the industry’s 
widest variety of media and mode converters.  
These solutions support most Ethernet speeds, 
cabling types and distances,  fitting a wide range 
of enterprise networking applications including:
• Bringing Fiber-to-the-Desk
•  Bridging LAN segments with dissimilar fiber 

types

•  Using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to bring 

power to network devices such as Wireless 
Access Points and IP Cameras

The U.S. Government has historically been a 
pioneer in networking research, development 
and Internet technology.  IMC Networks proudly 
supports federal, state and local governments 
with fiber solutions that combine high security with 
greater bandwidth.

IMC Networks is a preferred vendor to government 
organizations worldwide.  In addition to standalone 
and PC card media converters, IMC Networks 
also has an extensive line of SNMP-managed 

media converters that offer increased security.  
IMC Networks’ fiber mode converters allow 
network managers to connect multi and single-
mode network segments together, simplifying 
network planning.

IMC Networks proudly provides special pricing

Fiber is most commonly associated with long 
distance connections.  Today, however, it is 
rapidly gaining market share in LAN topologies, 
once considered the domain of copper cabling.  
Fiber offers many advantages: 
•  It has exceptional bandwidth, and can carry 

multiple signals concurrently 

•  It is immune to electromagnetic interference
•  It has no electromagnetic emissions, making 

it resistant to eavesdropping

•  It is lightweight
•  It is virtually "future proof"
