    The best network performance is achieved when an end-node can operate in full-duplex mode. The AT-MC13 and AT-MC14 media converters can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. However, it is important to note that the end-nodes connected to these media converters must operate in the same duplex mode to avoid a duplex mode mismatch which can result in poor network performance.
  • Page 16: External Ac/Dc Power Adapter

    The power adapter is not used if you install the media converter in an AT-MCR12 chassis. Network Topologies The AT-MC13 and AT-MC14 media converters can be used in two different topologies: standalone and back-to-back. Both types of topologies are described below.
  • Page 17: Back-To-Back Topology

    AT-MC13 and AT-MC14 Installation Guide Back-to-Back Topology In some network configurations you may want to interconnect two media converters in what is referred to as a back-to-back topology. In this topology, the media converters not only extend the distance of your network but also convert the fiber optic cable from twisted pair to fiber optic and back again.
