Allied AT-MC101XL-30 Telesis 100Base-TX /FX 2km Media Converter

Product Description

The Allied Telesis AT-MC101XL-30 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper and fiber optic networks. It allows for the seamless connection of a 100Base-TX Ethernet device to a 100Base-FX fiber optic network, extending network reach beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling. This makes it an ideal solution for connecting network segments across buildings, campuses, or other areas where longer distances are required. This model is specifically configured for multimode fiber (MMF) and utilizes SC connectors, a widely adopted standard for fiber optic connections. The AT-MC101XL-30 supports a maximum transmission distance of up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) over multimode fiber, providing a substantial increase in network coverage. The converter operates at a consistent 100 Mbps speed on both the copper and fiber interfaces, ensuring reliable performance for Fast Ethernet applications. Key features include auto-negotiation on the copper port, which simplifies installation by automatically detecting the speed and duplex settings of the connected device. The unit is equipped with comprehensive LED indicators that provide real-time status information for power, link activity, and data transfer on both the copper and fiber ports, aiding in network monitoring and troubleshooting. The AT-MC101XL-30 is designed for standalone operation and is powered by an external power adapter, offering flexibility in deployment scenarios.
