Expandable Chassis System
The Chassis-based Media Converter product lineup includes various independent media converters and a chassis capable of housing up to 16 media converters. You can start with a single media converter, equipped with its own housing and AC power supply. As your requirements grow, you can mount a chassis in your equipment rack and install all your media converters in the chassis. The housing of each media converter can be easily removed, and the media converter unit can be slid into the chassis. -
Management Options
You may configure your chassis with or without management functions. If you would like to configure it with management functions, a management module is available for installation in the chassis. This module lets you monitor the real-time status of all media converters and power supplies in the chassis and also sends out alarms to alert you of all abnormal situations. Management follows industry standards, including SNMP and HTTP, allowing you to monitor and manage media converters and power supplies from a third-party SNMP management workstation or via a web browser. -
Media Conversion Solutions
The following media converter solutions are available:- Fast Ethernet twisted-pair to Fast Ethernet 100BASE-FX fiber (single-mode and multi-mode)
- Fast Ethernet 100BASE-FX fiber multi-mode to single-mode
- 1000BASE-T Gigabit twisted pair to 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX Gigabit fiber
- For fiber cables, MT-RJ and SC connector types are supported.
-
Standalone or Chassis Based Installation
The media converters convert signals capable of transmission on one type of cable to signals capable of transmission on another type of cable. This allows you to connect longer-distance fiber cables between devices that are designed only for shorter-distance cables, such as the Cat. 5 twisted-pair cables. All media converters in this system come with their own solid metal case housing, LED status indicators, and AC to DC power adapters. They can be used as stand- alone converters, or installed in the chassis. When installed in a chassis, you must first remove their metal cases and slide their PC boards into the chassis slots. The chassis’s power supply will be used instead of the media converters’ own AC to DC power adapters. All media converters are hot- swappable when used with the chassis.
