Overview
The MC1008 series Ethernet media converters
are designed to extend the distance of your
network by interconnecting LAN devices that
are physically separated by large distances.
These media converters have the functionality
to connect any managed/unmanaged 1000Mbps
(1Gbps) switch or hub using standard 1000T
RJ45 connections and convert the signal to
1000Base optical via a GBIC or SFP port. The
pluggable optics feature allows for flexible
network configurations of reach whilst reducing
the number of products for sparing and
inventory.

Extend the Distance of Ethernet
Each AT-MC1008 media converter features a
1000T twisted pair port and a GBIC or SFP
port. The twisted pair port has an RJ45
connector and a maximum operating distance
of 100 metres (328 feet).

Cost-effective Migration
Although the provisioning of Gigabit Ethernet
connections is becoming relatively inexpensive,
thanks in part to the availability of lower-cost
copper Gigabit network adapters, the distance
limitations of copper cabling make fibre
segments a necessity in most networks. Small,
comparatively inexpensive copper to fibre
Gigabit Ethernet media converters present a
simple and very cost-effective way of
connecting Gigabit Ethernet LANs over
extended distances.

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 used, up to 12 standalone
devices can be inserted into a low-cost
AT-MCR12 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.
