EXTREME MEDIA CONVERTER SWITCHES, 10-Mbps
Media Converter Switches
for harsh outdoor environments.
Suitable for harsh
outdoor environments.
Provide one 10-Mbps
fiber port and two
10-/100-Mbps UTP
switch ports.
RJ-45 ports support
autonegotiation, so
you can easily attach
any 10- or 100-Mbps
device.
Available with many
choices of AC and DC
power supplies.
Key Features
M
edia Converter Switches are
the versatile way to extend
your network. They’re easy to
use—literally plug-and-play—
and offer many choices of fiber
types, power types, and mounting
options. These 10-Mbps fiber
versions of our popular 100-Mbps
Media Converter Switches enable
you to link to older 10BASE-FX
infrastructures.
It’s a media converter
and
a switch!
Media Converter Switches do
more than just adapt from one
cable type to another. They’re
true Ethernet switches and
behave like switches within your
Ethernet network. This means you
can connect them together
indefinitely without worrying
about interrepeater links. Each
Media Converter Switch features
non-blocking switching archi-
tecture with a 2K MAC address
table. The 128K buffer memory
makes it easy to interconnect
10- and 100-Mbps devices.
Tough enough for outdoor use.
Choose Extreme Media
Converter Switches for outdoor
use in exposed locations with
temperature ranges of -40 to
+167°F (-40 to +75°C)—all they
need in the way of protection is
shelter from direct rainfall. Like
our hardened models, Extreme
Media Converter Switches
feature a sealed case that uses its
own metal shell as a heat sink.
Choose them for applications such
as traffic signal control or for
sensors or surveillance cameras
in outdoor plants. Extreme Media
Converter Switches are rated for
above-the-ceiling plenum
installation.
Media Converter Switches are
also available in standard versions
for office or wiring closet environ-
ments and hardened versions for
demanding indoor environments
such as factory floors. Because
all three types work together
seamlessly, you can use inexpen-
sive Standard Media Converter
Switches in the protection of the
wiring closet and choose the
more robust Hardened or Extreme
Media Converter Switches for
harsh locations at your network’s
edge.
Distance isn’t a problem.
Because they’re switches as
well as media converters, Media
Converter Switches provide more
options in network topology, over-
coming the distance limitations
inherent with simple media
converters —to add extra distance,
just daisychain another Media
Converter Switch. If you need
more ports at your remote loca-
tion, just add a Convenient Switch.
Multimode models support up
to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles)
between Media Converter
Switches. For longer distances,
choose single-mode models for
up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles).
