M edia Converter Switches are
the versatile way to extend
your network. They're easy to
use—literally plug-and-play—
and offer many choices of fiber
types, power types, and mounting
options. These 10-Mbps fiber
versions of our popular 100-Mbps
Media Converter Switches enable
you to link to older 10BASE-FX
infrastructures.
It's a media converter and a
switch!
Media Converter Switches do
more than just adapt from one
cable type to another. They're
true Ethernet switches and
behave like switches within your
Ethernet network. This means you
can connect them together
indefinitely without worrying
about interrepeater links. Each
Media Converter Switch features
non-blocking switching archi-
tecture with a 2K MAC address
table. The 128K buffer memory
Media Converter Switches for
industrial environments.
makes it easy to interconnect
10- and 100-Mbps devices.
Tough enough for the factory
floor.
Hardened Media Converter
Switches are for dusty or dirty
environments with temperatures
that range between -13 and
+140°F (-25 to +60°C). They use
the metal case as a heat sink so
no internal airflow is needed for
cooling. The case is sealed to
resist environmental contam-
inants such as dust, dirt, moisture,
smoke, and insects. They're an
ideal choice for demanding
industrial applications such as
factory floors.
Media Converter Switches are
also available in standard versions
for office or wiring closet environ-
ments and extreme versions for
outdoor environments. Because
all three types work together
seamlessly, you can use
inexpensive Standard Media
Converter Switches in the
protection of the wiring closet and
choose the more robust Hardened
or Extreme Media Converter
Switches for harsh locations at
your network's edge.
Distance isn't a problem.
Because they're switches as
well as media converters, Media
Converter Switches provide more
options in network topology,
overcoming the distance limit-
ations inherent with simple media
converters —to add extra
distance, just daisychain another
Media Converter Switch. If you
need more ports at your remote
location, just add a Convenient
Switch.
Multimode models support up
to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles)
between Media Converter
Switches. For longer distances,
choose single-mode models for
up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles).
