AccessConverter
AccessConverter is a multi-port fiber media converter, aggregating three 10/100 Ethernet devices into a 100Base-FX uplink. While typical Media Converters perform a conversion between one twisted pair interface and one fiber optic interface, the new AccessConverter offers three 10/100 ports that will connect to any 10Mbps or 100Mbps device. Having three ports instead of one will dramatically increase the application flexibility and reduce cost by 60%.
AccessConverter is an ideal solution for the LAN workgroup and Fiber-to-the-Premises applications, connecting and aggregating multiple devices, such as PCs, servers, printers and VoIP phones into a fiber optic cabling infrastructure. Providing plug-and-play operation, AccessConverter features 10/100 Auto-Negotiation and AutoCross on the twisted pair ports.
The fixed-speed, 100Base-FX uplink port supports popular ST and SC connectors and is available with multi-mode, single-mode and single-strand single-mode fiber types, providing fiber connectivity from 2 km all the way up to 80 km distances. The unit also includes a country-specific, external AC power adaptor.
