models:
These media converters are designed to extend the distance of your network by
interconnecting twisted pair cabling to single-mode or multimode fiber optic
cabling or thinnet cabling. The AT-MC1x Series Media Converters allow you to
interconnect LAN devices over large distances.
The AT-MC13, AT-MC14, and AT-MC16 media converters feature a 10Base-T
twisted pair port and a 10Base-F fiber optic port. The twisted pair port has an
RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
The fiber optic port has an ST or SC connector and a maximum operating
distance of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) to 100 kilometers (62 miles), depending on
the model. These media converters operate at 10 Mbps and feature half- and
full-duplex operation.
The AT-MC15 features a 10Base-T twisted pair port and a 10Base2 thinnet
port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating
distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The thinnet port has a BNC-type connector
and a maximum operating distance of 185 meters (606 feet). The AT-MC15
operates at 10 Mbps and features half-duplex operation.
The AT-MC1x Series Media Converters can be used on a desktop or in an
