AT-MC13
UTP to fiber ST Ethernet media converter
Fiber Connections
The Allied Telesis range of Ethernet media
converters provides a complete family of
conversion devices, allowing users to extend the
size of UTP networks with the use of fiber
cabling. Supporting all major fiber connectors,
with support for both multi and single-mode
fiber, these converters can be used to extend
networks with up to 15km of fiber.
MissingLink™
The MissingLink feature allows switches or hubs
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.
Simple Installation
All the media converters with a UTP
connection feature an internal MDI/MDI-X
switch, allowing the converter to be connected
to either a PC, hub or switch, with a simple UTP
cable.The media converters also allow the
installer to test the integrity of the fiber
connection, byforcing the converters to
communicate over the fiber cable.This ‘Link Test’
feature allows installers to check for cable faults
without the need for expensive fiber optic test
equipment.
Standalone or Rack-mounted
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 standalone devices can
be inserted into a low-cost rack-mount 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 rack-
mount chassis.
