Datasheet | Media Converters AT-MC13 Ethernet Media Converters AT-MC13 UTP to fiber ST Ethernet media converter Simple Installation 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. 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, by forcing 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. MissingLinkTM Standalone or Rack-mounted The MissingLink feature allows switches or hubs with redundant link capability to be interconnected with these media converters, as a failure in one fiber link will be signalled to the switch, allowing the second link to become active. 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 rackmount chassis.
