Ethernet-based, Standalone Media Converters
McBasic Series
When simple, individual, copper-to-fiber or copper-to-coax conversions
are required, along with advanced troubleshooting features, installing
McBasic Series standalone media converters is the perfect, cost-effective
solution.

The McBasic’s small, table-top design and durability make it
perfect for installation anywhere space is limited. Additionally,
the McBasic comes with an internal AC power supply. This
feature significantly increases reliability over products that use
bulky, external AC/DC power transformers. The McBasic series
includes:

The McBasic includes troubleshooting features such as LinkLoss,
FiberAlert, Transparency and Link Fault Detection that make
isolating fiber breaks easier should they occur. The McBasic
also features either AutoCross or switch crossover/pass-through
switch on twisted pair connections, termination switch on BNC
ports, and diagnostic LEDs. Most McBasic units are 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, for example.

Autosensing 10/100 Mbps McBasic converters offer significant
advantages over regular 10 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. Enterprise networks planning
a migration path from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps often deploy
autosensing converters, then upgrade when ready and units will
automatically adapt to increased speed. Service providers with
10 or 100 Mbps links to customer premises can sell customers
more bandwidth without upgrading the converters at the POP
and the customer network edge.
