IMC Networks' line of SNMP managed media conversion devices lower overall operating costs while reducing the operational complexity of your network. Available in a wide range of protocols and connectors, IMC Networks can meet the needs and demands of your network. The iView² Element Management System (EMS) software is provided at no cost with all managed products. This management system provides an intuitive, real-time GUI for simple configuration, management and monitoring of your IMC Networks managed devices. Offering a variety of protocols including 10/100/1000 Ethernet, T1/E1 and DS3/E3 combined with options such as Power over Ethernet, IMC Networks continues to manufacture superior products that are made in the USA and are backed by a six-year comprehensive warranty* with free US-based technical support.

* SFP transceivers carry a one-year warranty

Unmanaged media converters allow customers to convert multiple protocols and interfaces, such as 10/100Base-T copper to 100Base-F fiber, and extend transmission distances well beyond the limitations of twisted pair cabling. Media converters reduce costs associated with expansion by providing legacy equipment an upgrade path when migrating to different networks. A lower cost alternative to managed media converters, IMC Networks' unmanaged product line is ideal for networks not requiring advanced features such as remote management and monitoring.

Intelligent media converters that are manageable even as standalone devices. Designed with advanced remote management and configuration capabilities, IMC Networks' FTTX products allow service providers to deliver next-generation, managed, high-speed Internet, Ethernet Private Line, and transparent LAN services to businesses, multi-dwelling units (MDUs) and residential customers. MEF certified products, such as the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II, fulfill Carrier Ethernet requirements, guaranteeing high quality service level performance and interoperability.

Hardware such as media converters, switched and routers that offer small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports allow network operators to customize fiber types and speeds without having to replace the hardware. IMC Networks' SFP transceivers are available in dozens of configurations, including, copper, duplex and single-fiber, CWDM and Extended Diagnostics (DDMI). All of IMC Networks' SFPs are MSA compliant, rated for Industrial Ethernet(IE) applications and carry a full one-year warranty.

VDSL Ethernet LAN Extenders IE-iMcV-VDSL2-LANextender enable LAN and campus network managers and service providers to use an existing phone-grade wiring plant to extend 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet twisted pair interfaces by using Ethernet over VDSL; the 100 meter distance limitation of twisted pair data cabling is no longer a challenge.

Designed with Second Generation VDSL (Very high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) technology, the IE-iMcV-VDSL2-LANextender allows the transmission of data over sub-standard CAT3 and other telephone cabling to achieve higher data rates than comparable VDSL converters at short distances (less than 100 meters), while supporting asymmetrical data rates on substantially longer lines (greater than 2 km). IE-iMcV-VDSL2-LANextender modules include:

The IE-iMcV-ModeConverter is an SNMP manageable module that allows network operators to incorporate multiple fiber types and wavelengths within a network. It installs in the modular, SNMP-manageable iMediaChassis series and in the unmanaged MediaChassis series.

The IE-iMcV-ModeConverters are protocol-independent with dual SFP ports which can provide a single conversion between different wavelengths or single-mode and multimode fiber, single-mode to single-mode fiber or multimode to single-strand single-mode fiber. The IE-iMcVModeConverter modules support a variety of userconfigurable features such as LinkLoss and variable speed SFPs. Additionally, since the IE-iMcV-ModeConverter is an Industrial Equipment device(IE), the unit operates in environments that demand extended operating temperatures.

The iMcV-Switch is a multi-port, 10/100 Ethernet module that allows the user to increase port density and the service area of Ethernet networks. The store and forward switch function allows the end user to extend Ethernet service to locations for a total of 100 meters from the Ethernet source. All RJ-45 ports Auto Negotiate 10/100Base-T, half/full duplex, and automatically configure for MDI or MDIX operation. Each port allows a maximum frame size of up to 1916 bytes and supports Flow Control and priority queuing.

Easily view the status of the iMcV-Switch with IMC Networks' GUIbased iView². iView² runs standalone on Windows NT/XP/2000/Vista, as a standalone Java Application for other operating systems, as a snap-in module for HP OpenView, as a Web Server running under IIS or as a Java Web Servlet.

802.3ah (passive) capability is now available on the iMcV-FiberLinX-II and IE-MiniFiberLinX-II products. 802.3ah is the ratified standard for OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance). OAM consists of two elements, passive and active. Its purpose is to detect network problems and offer simple network maintenance. IMC Networks has implemented the passive capability first, based on the premise that our intelligent devices would be connected to an active 802.3ah switch allowing active testing of our unit.

LFPT (Link Fault Pass-Through) is now available on the iMcV-LIM and iMcV-MediaLinX products. These products function exactly like the previous generations, but come standard with a new feature enhancement. With Link Fault Pass-Through, system administrators are able to notice the link failure within a short period of time, minimizing the loss caused when one side of the link fails, and the other side still continues to transmit packets, and waits for a response that will never arrive. A fault at one end will propagate to the other end of the transport.” This feature is also available on the McBasic-Gigabit, iMcV-Gigabit and the iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX products. More about LFPT...more
