McPC Series UTP to Fiber Converters

McPC Series Media Converters are ideal for Fiber-to-the-Desktop applications and for companies with frequent moves and changes to workstation locations. Installing right inside the PC or a workstation, next to an existing NIC card, these unobtrusive units eliminate the need to place Media Converters on top of CPUs and having additional power adaptors and cords around the workspace.

McPC Media Converters support twisted pair to fiber media conversion at Ethernet data rates:

  • 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet (TX/FX) - Designed to connect to NIC cards running at Fast Ethernet speeds
  • 10/100 Mbps MediaLinX (TP-TX/FX) - A rate converter as well as a media converter, 10/100 Switching McPC converts 10 or 100 Mbps over copper to 100 Mbps over fiber
  • 10/100 Mbps Auto Negotiation (10/100) - A media converter only, converts copper to fiber, both running either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The correct speed is selected automatically. (If rate conversion is also needed, select the 10/100 Mbps Switching McPC.)
  • 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet (TX/SX or TX/LX) - Ideal for bringing Gigabit speed connectivity to the desktop via fiber.

McPC converters are available for virtually any fiber type, from short-haul multi-mode to long-haul single-mode, with standard ST or SC connectors. Single-strand fiber versions also available - call for availability.

McPC converters can be ordered with either a standard PCI bracket (McPC/PCI) or an ISA bracket (McPC/ISA), for added flexibility.
