Multi-Port, 10/100 Switching Media Converter for Optical Access 
AccessConverter
Terminate fiber and connect multiple Ethernet devices— PCs, webcams, 
printers— at a remote location with a single device, AccessConverter.
Terminating a fiber run while using various local, copper-based 
devices such as PCs, printers, VoIP, etc. is essential for the success 
of Fiber-to-the Business, Curb and other FTTx projects.  Remote 
locations have similar configuration demands.  Connecting the 
multiple copper devices to the fiber, however, typically requires 
the use of both a media converter and a switch— two pieces of 
equipment to purchase and two pieces of equipment to monitor 
and maintain. IMC Networks streamlines FTTx projects as well 
as the connection of remote locations with its AccessConverter, a 
multi-port, switching media converter.  
Best of all, in one compact unit AccessConverter reduces the 
amount of required equipment while providing all the features of 
a switch (store and forward switching mechanics, MAC address 
learning, protection against broadcast storms, flow control, etc.) 
and performing the electrical-to-optical conversion.  In addition, 
the unit’s small size and wall-mount bracket (included) allow you 
to install AccessConverter virtually anywhere, including inside a 
network interface device (NID).
Requiring no configuration, AccessConverter has plug-
and-play operation:  
Each copper port autosenses the connected device’s speed 
and duplex mode (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and HDX or FDX) 
and includes AutoCross, a feature which automatically selects 
between a crossover workstation (MDI-X) or pass-through 
(MDI-II) connection depending on the connected device.  
The fiber port always operates at 100 Mbps FDX, and 
supports distances up to 100km.   
Depending on configuration requirements, the AccessConverter 
can be ordered with the uplink port on the back or the front of 
the unit.  The AccessConverter series also includes a single-strand 
fiber version which can effectively double the capacity of fiber.
