Network Topology
The value of the AT-MCF106xx and AT-MCF112xx Series Multichannel
Media Converters is that they allow you to extend the reach of your network
and to interconnect widespread network devices and subnetworks into one
integrated network.
Figure 8 on page 11 illustrates an example of a network that incorporates a
AT-MCF106SC unit to interconnect dispersed network devices. The model has
SC type fiber optic connectors and a range of 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) on the
fiber optic ports. At the top of the topology is an AT-8224XL Fast Ethernet
switch. Six of the twisted pair ports on the switch are connected to the six
twisted pair ports on the AT-MCF106SC media converter. Fiber optic cabling
from the AT-MCF106SC unit connects the media converter to the switches,
hubs, and workstation that comprise the network.
