About McPIMs
McPIMs (Media Converter Port Interface Modules) are 10 Mbps Ethernet modules
which provide a single-conversion between 10Base-T twisted pair and 10Base-FL
single-mode or multi-mode fiber. McPIMs include one RJ-45 connector and one pair
of ST or SC fiber optic connectors. Each McPIM requires one slot in a media
converter chassis.
