Tailor the system to your requirements: Get the media
converters you need now and use them individually. Then,
when your LAN grows, mount your media converters on the
wall, in the 5-Position Rackmounting Kit, as modules in the
Power Chassis, or on a DIN rail. The Power Chassis holds 14
media converters and a Single or Dual AC or DC Power Supply.
10BASE-T to BNC
This media converter joins unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
and coax LANs together to form one network.
For UTP, the 10BASE-T/BNC converter supports Category 3,
4, and 5 wiring at distances of 328 feet (100 m). This model
also corrects wiring-polarity reversals and eliminates crossed
cables with a crossover switch.
For coax, this converter has a BNC connector that supports
50-ohm cable at up to 607 feet (185 m). And you don’t need
a T-connector—switch-selectable termination is built in.
10BASE-FL to BNC
These 10BASE-FL to 10BASE2 media converters connect a
ThinNet LAN to fiber to form one network.
For fiber, these converters use ST connectors. They come
in 850-nm multimode, 1300-nm multimode, and 1300-nm
single-mode models. The fiber length is limited to 1.2 miles
(1.9 km) per IEEE 802.3 timing.
