Allied Telesyn AT MC105XL

Allied Telesyn AT MC105XL ... of UTP networks with the use of fiber cabling. Supporting all major fiber connectors, with support for multi and single-mode fiber, these converters can be used to extend networks with up to 300m of fiber.

The Allied Telesyn range of 850 nm fiber Fast Ethernet media converters allows users to extend the size of UTP networks with the use of fiber cabling. Converting between 100Base-TX and 100Base-SX fiber quickly and reliably, the AT-MC105XL and AT-MC106XL address the growing demand for a low-cost solution for fiber installations of 300 meters or less. To maximize flexibility, the converters are available in ST (AT-MC105XL) and SC (AT-MC106XL) fiber connector styles.

All the media converters with a UTP connection feature an internal MDI/MDIX switch, allowing the converter to be connected to either a PC, hub or switch with a simple UTP cable. The media converters also allow the installer to test the integrity of fiber connection, by forcing the converters to communicate over the fiber cable. This Link Test feature allows installers to check for cable faults without the need for expensive fiber optic test equipment.
