INTRODUCTION
The OLSON TECHNOLOGY, INC. Model OTEN-MC-01 EtherNodePlus Media Converter, 10/100/1000Mb/s allows
network operators to convert signals between an electrical Ethernet 10/100/1000Mb/s UTP interface and an optical inter-
face. The traditional 10/100/1000Mb/s gigabit Ethernet can be extended to the distance of 80+km through a fiber optic
link.
The OTEN-MC-01 incorporates the latest gigabit IC technology. Indicator LED’s on the front panel allow the unit’s
status to be fully monitored, simplifying installation and maintaining network performance.
