Features
The AT-MCF2012LC and AT-MCF2012LC/1 Media
Converter Modules are designed to interconnect Fast
Ethernet networking devices over large distances by
transferring Fast Ethernet network packets between twisted
pair cable and fiber optic cable. The modules feature twelve
independent media converter channels with each channel
consisting of one 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port and one
100Base-FX fiber optic port. The fiber optic ports have a
maximum operating distance of 2 or 20 kilometers (km),
depending on the model.
The modules feature low latency to minimize the impact on
network performance along with cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) detection to prevent the propagation of incomplete or
fragmented packets on your network.
