McPC Series Media Converters are ideal for Fiber-to-the-Desktop applications
and for companies with frequent workstation moves and changes. Installing
inside a PC or workstation, and plugging into adjacent network interface cards
(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:
The McPC series includes:
• McPC 10 Mbps Converters: Convert 10 Mbps twisted pair to 10 Mbps
coax
• McPC 100 Mbps Converters: Convert 100 Mbps twisted pair to 100 Mbps
fiber
• McPC TP-TX/FX, Switching Converters: Convert 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
twisted pair to 100 Mbps fiber; plug-and-play operation, no configuration
necessary
• McPC-Gigabit 1000 Mbps Converters: Convert 1000 Mbps twisted pair to
1000 Mbps fiber.
Most McPC converters include troubleshooting features that make isolating fiber
breaks easier should they occur. Most McPC converters also feature AutoCross for
automatically selecting the correct operating mode based on the type of crossover/
pass-through cable, switch-selectable termination for BNC ports, and LEDs that assist
in network diagnostics and troubleshooting. McPC-Gigabit units are even available for
single-strand fiber which can effectively double the capacity of fiber by allowing two
individual channels to share one strand of fiber; Full-Duplex data travels on different
wavelengths: 1310 nm and 1550 nm.
Autonegotiating 10/100 Mbps McPC converters offer significant advantages over
regular 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps converters. An ideal choice for both enterprise
and service provider networks, 10/100 converters save time and money when
deployed at the host and remote site. Legacy Enterprise networks preparing
to migrate from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps can deploy autonegotiating converters,
then upgrade when ready and units will automatically adapt to increased speed.
Service providers with 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps links to customer premises can sell
customers more bandwidth without upgrading the converters at the POP and the
customer network edge.
Application Example
