About the iMcV-LIM 10/100
The iMcV-LIM 10/100 is an SNMP-manageable, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion media
conversion module which converts between:
• 10Base-T twisted pair and 10Base-FL multi-mode or single-mode fiber, or
• 100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-SX multi-mode fiber, 100Base-FX single-
mode fiber or single-strand single-mode fiber.
The iMcV-LIM requires one slot in an SNMP-manageable chassis or an unmanaged
chassis from IMC Networks. The iMcV-LIM features one RJ-45 connector and one
pair of ST or SC fiber connectors.
Configuration Instructions
In many networks, the media converter is typically installed as a pair, between two
copper-based end devices. The iMcV-LIM 10/100 can also be installed as a single
media converter, between one copper-based device and the other a fiber-based
device. However, when connected to certain fiber-based devices, there may be
difficulty in the installation: if a link partner that is connected to the iMcV-LIM 10/100
media converter is powered down on the copper port, noise on the copper segment
may be detected and transferred to the fiber line. A result of the noise will generate
errors that look like CRC errors. Some fiber-based devices many detect this noise
and disable the fiber segment.
