Allied AT-MC101XL-60 Telesis 100TX to 100FX 2KM Fiber Media Converter

Product Description

The Allied Telesis AT-MC101XL-60 is a versatile media converter that facilitates the interconnection of copper-based Ethernet networks with fiber optic networks. It specifically translates signals between a 100Base-TX interface, commonly found on standard Ethernet devices, and a 100Base-FX interface, which utilizes fiber optic cabling for extended reach and enhanced signal integrity. This makes it an ideal solution for extending network segments across distances that exceed the capabilities of copper Ethernet. This model is configured for multimode fiber optic connections and employs an SC connector, a widely adopted standard for fiber optic terminations. The AT-MC101XL-60 is capable of transmitting data up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) over multimode fiber, providing a significant increase in network coverage compared to traditional copper cabling. The converter operates at a consistent speed of 100 Mbps, ensuring that the performance of the connected devices is maintained. Equipped with auto-negotiation capabilities on its copper port, the AT-MC101XL-60 automatically adjusts to the optimal speed and duplex settings of the connected network device, simplifying deployment. It also features a suite of LED indicators that provide real-time status updates on power, link integrity, and data activity for both the copper and fiber connections, which is invaluable for network diagnostics and management. The unit is designed for standalone operation with an external power adapter, offering flexibility in deployment scenarios.
