About the iMcV-Modules
iMcV-Modules are SNMP-manageable and install in the modular, SNMP-manageable
iMediaChassis series in the unmanaged MediaChassis series. The following media
conversion and fiber mode conversion iMcV Modules are described in this manual:
iMcV-PIM
Ethernet module providing a single conversion between 10Base-T twisted
pair and 10Base-FL single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each iMcV-PIM
includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic
connectors.
When connecting 10 Mbps iMcV-PIM Media Converters, the
end devices must be set to Force mode.
TP LinkLoss and FO LinkLoss are always enabled—please see the table later
in this manual.
iMcV-LIM
Fast Ethernet module provides a single conversion between 100Base-TX
twisted pair and 100Base-FX/SX single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Each
iMcV-LIM includes one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or SC fiber optic
connectors.
Also available in a single-strand fiber version, iMcV-LIM TX/SSFX allows two
wavelengths to share one fiber strand – Full-Duplex data travels on different
wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) – doubling the capacity of fiber.
Includes one RJ-45 connector and one SC fiber connector.
iMcV-S2MM/
M2MM/S2SM
Protocol-independent modules provide a single conversion between single-
mode and multi-mode (S2MM*) fiber, 1310 nm to 1550 nm single-mode
(S2SM), or 850 nm to 1300 nm multi-mode (M2MM). Supported
transmission speeds are: 10-155 Mbps and 622-1250Mbps. Each module
includes two pairs of ST or SC fiber optic connectors (or small form factor
connector). Single-strand fiber versions also available.

Installation
iMcV-Modules install in any IMC Networks SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis series
or in any MediaChassis. To install an iMcV-Module, remove the blank bracket
covering the slot where the module is to be installed by removing the screw on the
outside edge of the bracket. Slide the iMcV Module into the chassis, via the card
guides, until the module is seated securely in the connector. Secure the module to
the chassis by tightening the captive screw. Save any blanks removed during
installation for future use should configuration requirements change.
