AT-MC104 Series Fast Ethernet Media
Converters
The AT-MC104 Series Media Converters include the following models:
AT-MC104 Series Fast Ethernet Media Converters are designed to extend the
distance of your network by interconnecting multimode fiber optic cabling and
single-mode fiber optic cabling. The media converters allow you to
interconnect LAN devices that are physically separated by large distances.
Each media converter features two 100Base-FX ports with either SC or ST
connectors. One port uses multimode fiber optic cabling and has a maximum
distance of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). The second port uses single-mode fiber
optic cabling and has a maximum distance of 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) to 100
kilometers (62 miles), depending on the model. These units operate at 100
Mbps and feature half-duplex and full-duplex operation.
The media converters can be installed either as standalone units, such as on a
table, or in an AT-MCR12 Rackmount Chassis or AT-TRAY4 Rackmount Tray.
AT-MC104 Series Media Converters are easy to install and do not require any
software configuration or management. Figure 1 shows an AT-MC104 Series
Media Converter.
