This flexible range of Media Converters will give you all the tools to convert UTP, BNC or fibre segments. It also allows you to convert 100Mbos segments between Twisted-pair and Multi or Singlemode fibre in Full or Half-duplex modes. We offer 7 chassis options and 13 different types of converter cards to match your application exactly.

Chassis options:
You can have a single or a 4-port desk top style chassis or if your application calls for a rack mount solution then you have a choice of 8 or 12 ports. The 12 port chassis is also available in a 1U or a 2U high versions. Both chassis offer the option of redundant power supplies and 230Vac or 48Vdc.

Converter card options:
You can mix and match any type of card within a chassis. The 10 and 100Mbps cards offer you visual indication of LinkLoss for easy identification of fibre segment problems. Depending on the distances required simply choose the card that offers you the correct dB power output.

All 10Mbps cards have an internal switch that allows the installer to select the port as an up or down-link port eliminating the need for a crossover cable and these cards allow you to convert from twisted-pair to coax (ThinNet) or from Singlemode to Multimode fibre types. The 100Mbps cards can be used to convert Twisted-pair Fast Ethernet to single or Multimode fibre and offer ST or SC connector options.
