MediaConverter Series Modules and Chassis
Network managers worldwide rely on the MediaConverter series when converting twisted pair cabling to fiber optics. The modular MediaConverter series is the most cost-effective, flexible solution for everyday fiber networking in the LAN, campus network, outside plant and MAN applications.
MediaConverter modules include:
| Conversion Type | Transmission Speed (Mbps) | |||
| 10 | 100 | 10/100 | 1000 | |
| UTP to Fiber | McPIM TP/FO | McLIM TX/FX | McLIM TP-TX/FX | McGigabit |
Modules support popular ST, SC and single-strand fiber connectors and distances up to 130 km. The MediaConverter chassis are available in 1, 4, 8 and 12 slot configurations, and are powered via AC or DC power.
Single-strand fiber versions are available for the McGigabit modules, as well as with some of the McLIM modules. See below for more information.
With an installed base of tens of thousands of units worldwide, the MediaConverter series continually proves to be the most dependable modular conversion platform in the industry.
