Media Converters
AT-MC1008/GB
1000T, GBIC pluggable media converter
AT-MC1008/SP
1000T, SFP pluggable media converter
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
RJ-45 connections and convert the signal to
1000Base optical via a GBIC or SFP. 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 RJ-45
connector and a maximum operating distance
of 100 meters (328 feet).
For the AT-MC1008/GB, the fiber optic port has
a GBIC slot and a maximum operating distance
dependent on the GBIC.
For the AT-MC1008/SP, the fiber optic port has
an SFP slot and a maximum operating distance
dependent on the SFP.
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 fiber
segments a necessity in most networks. Small,
comparatively inexpensive copper to fiber
Gigabit Ethernet media converters present a
simple and very cost-effective way of connecting
Gigabit Ethernet LANs over extended distances.
Standalone or Rack-mounted
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 rack-mount
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
rack-mount chassis.
