device on the copper
side.
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

Key Features
STANDARD MEDIA CONVERTER SWITCHES, 10-Mbps
makes it easy to interconnect
10-and 100-Mbps devices.
Use them in your office;
extend them to the factory floor.
Standard Media Converter
Switches are for use in clean,
temperature-controlled environ-
ments such as offices and wiring
closets.
Media Converter Switches are
also available in hardened
versions for industrial environ-
ments and extreme versions for
outdoor environments. 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 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,
overcoming 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
location, just add a Convenient
Switch.
Multimode models support up
to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) be-
tween Media Converter Switches.
For longer distances, choose
single-mode models for up to
20 kilometers (12.4 miles).
The features you’re looking for.
Media Converter Switches are
simple to set up and use—just
plug and go!
Both copper ports are auto-
sensing for speed and duplex,
adjusting to the connected device
automatically.
Plus, the UTP ports feature
auto-MDI/MDI-X, eliminating the
need for crossover cables.
