Complete Range of Fiber Connections
The Allied Telesyn range of Fast Ethernet media converters allows users to extend the size of UTP networks with the use of fiber cabling. Converting between 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX Multi-mode and 100BASET-FX Single-mode "Long Haul" quickly and reliably, the AT-MC104LH can be used to extend networks with up to 40km of fiber.
Auto-Negotiation and MissingLink
When connecting media converters to auto-negotiating Fast Ethernet switches, these media converters will automatically connect the link in either full or half-duplex mode, allowing the link to be established with the greatest bandwidth. Alternatively, the MissingLink feature allows accurate reporting to network management systems as well as allowing devices with redundant link capability to be inter-connected with these media converters, as a failure in one fiber link will be signalled to the switch, allowing the second link to become active.
Standalone or Rackmounted
Each small media converter is powered by an external power supply unit for use in standalone applications. Where multiple media converters are being used, up to 12 devices can be inserted into a low cost rackmount chassis, allowing all the converters to be powered by a single internal power supply. In critical applications, a second load sharing internal power supply can be installed into the rackmount chassis.
