Introduction:
The MC-120SC-SM Media Converter is a cost-effective,
feature-packed solution for expanding or extending an existing
Ethernet/ Fast Ethernet network. The converter boasts enhanced
with such features as remote and local loop back testing,
auto-negotiation, and link fault signaling for total reliability, It also
features seven DIP switches for manual activation of the enhanced
features. This gives the MC-120SC-SM the ability to be quickly
integrated into a network configuration.
The MC-120SC-SM can support a variety of fiber optic cables and
connectors that can extend distances (up to 80km) as well as
offering flexibility in the migration to 100Base-FX networks!
Product Summary & Benefits:
The MC-120SC-SM is a compact, reliable media conversion solution that provides network administrators with a cost-effective solution
for migrating or upgrading copper-based networks to fiber optic-based networks. Whether data is transmitted over single mode or
long-haul single mode fiber optics, or operating in full or half-duplex, the MC-120-SM is capable of handling the various cable
configurations.
Link Fault Signaling - The LFS feature supports the creation of a redundant or secondary connection. This can be an ideal solution for
those mission-critical or constant service applications such as fiber To The Building (FTTB) or Fiber To The Curb (FTTC). The LFS
LED provides immediately indication of when a cable has been severed or when some other cause of disruption in service has occurred.
Simultaneously, data transmission will be switched to the redundant link resulting in 'non-stop' network connectivity.
Loopback Test - Once enabled via a DIP-switch, the Remote or Local Loopback test feature allows the administrator to instantly
determine the status of the cable connection. This offers a simpler approach to troubleshooting; no more manual inspection of cables and
wiring closets.
Support NWay - The MC-120SC-SM takes advantage of intelligent connection technology to support auto-negotiation, thereby
eliminating the hassle of manually configuring or monitoring the settings. This ensures a plug-n-play' operability.
Cable Flexibility & Scalability - The MC-120SC-SM allows you to install fiber cabling anywhere within the network diagram without
having to replace existing copper-based. It's compact, modular design facilitates easy deployment in a narrow desktop location,
wall-mount or as a multi-unit configuration based on the MC-1600C-12 12-slot standard 19" rack-mount chassis or MC-1600C-4 4-slot
rack-mount chassis. Plus, connecting the MC-120-SM media converter to fiber segments extends distances between networking nodes
of up to80,000 meters.
