Allied Telesis AT MCF12

Allied Telesis AT MCF12 ... single slim, 19" rackmountable unit. With a range of fiber connector styles for SC, ST, and VF-45, and supporting both multi-mode and single-mode fiber cabling, these media converters allow inter-connectivity of Ethernet networks at distances of up to 15km.

The AT-MCFxx media converters can be installed as unmanaged devices, making them extremely cost-effective. All of the converters are easily upgradeable with management in the field by the installation of a slide-in management module, the AT-MCM01. This allows all ports to be monitored from a remote NMS (Network Management Station) over the network. All ports support the Allied Telesis' 'Missing Link' feature, which allows the media converters to truly propagate Fast Ethernet 'Link' signals. Multiple channels on a media converter can therefore be used to provide resilient links to copper based switches supporting these features. For added security, all the media converters support an optional redundant internal power supply and both power supplies can be "hot" inserted and removed, enabling zero down-time during maintenance. Designed for optimal use in managed networks, each port can independently operate with a managed port configured for either half or full duplex. Additionally, the "Link" test feature allows the user to check the operation of the installed fiber cable without the need for expensive test equipment or with other active components connected to the UTP channel ports on the media converter.
