Overview
The AT-MC1004 and AT-MC1005/x Series Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters
are designed to extend the distance of your network by converting Gigabit
Ethernet data between twisted pair cabling and either multimode or single-
mode fiber optic cabling.
The AT-MC1004 media converter features a 1000Base-SX fiber optic port and
a 1000Base-T twisted pair port. The fiber optic port has an SC connector and a
maximum operating distance of 550 meters (1,804 feet). The twisted pair port
has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328
feet).
The AT-MC1005/x media converters feature a 1000Base-LX fiber optic port
and a 1000Base-T twisted pair port. The fiber optic port has an SC connector
and a maximum operating distance of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) to 70
kilometers (43.4 miles), depending on the model. The twisted pair port has an
RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
These units operate at 1000 Mbps and feature full-duplex operation.
The AT-MC1004 and AT-MC1005/x Series Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters
can be used on a desktop or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These units are easy to
install and do not require any software configuration or management. Figure
