About the MediaConverter
The modular MediaConverter series includes modules which can convert copper to
single-mode or multi-mode fiber at Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit speeds, and
can convert copper to thin coax at Ethernet speeds. Protocol-independent single- to
multi-mode fiber optic conversion modules are also available.
Modular MediaConverter chassis provide power to media converter modules, and
are available with one, four, eight or 12 slots for installing any combination of
McPIMs (10 Mbps Ethernet), McLIMs (100 Mbps Fast Ethernet) and McGigabit
modules (1.25 Gbps Ethernet).
• MediaConverter/1 and /4 are standalone chassis which include one or four
media conversion module slots, respectively, and a fixed, internal 100/240 VAC
power supply.
• MediaConverter/8 is a 1U high, rack-mountable chassis that includes eight
media module slots and a fixed 100/240 VAC power supply.
• MediaConverter/12x is a rack-mountable chassis and includes 12 media
conversion module slots and either a 100/240 VAC or -48 VDC power supply.
MediaConverter/12x is 1U high and has the power on the rear of the chassis
with media conversion module slots on the front.
About the McLIMs (RX/TX Versions)
McLIM TP-TX/FX is an Auto Negotiating, switching media converter which offers
plug-and-play operation to convert 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, Half- or Full-Duplex
twisted pair to 100Base-FX, Full-Duplex fiber. McLIM TP-TX/FX protects against
Broadcast storms, and allows jumbo packets of up to 1916 bytes. The modules
deployed as a pair, allow transmission of data in one direction only.
McLIMs include one RJ-45 connector for the twisted pair port and single-strand fiber
over multi-mode with SC convertors.
Installation Tip
Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different
wavelengths, you must deploy single-strand fiber products in pairs, or connect two
compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect a device that
has MM1310-SC transmit and MM1550-SC receive to a product that has 1550 transmit and
1310 receive.
Configuring Media Conversion Modules
McLIM TP-TX/FX has plug-and-play operation and requires no configuration.
