Fast Ethernet Media Converters
AT-MC104XL
Fiber SC multi-mode to fiber SC single-mode
media converters
Fiber Connections
The Allied Telesis range of Fast Ethernet media
converters provide a complete family of
conversion devices, allowing users to extend the
size of UTP and multi-mode fiber networks with
the use of single-mode fiber cabling. Supporting
SC connected single-mode fiber, these
converters can be used to extend networks up
to a distance of 40km.
Auto-negotiation and MissingLink™
When connecting media converters to autonegotiating Fast Ethernet switches, these media
converters will automatically connect the link in
either full or half-duplex mode, allowing the link
to be established with the greatest bandwidth.
Alternatively, the MissingLink feature allows
accurate repor ting to network management
systems as well as allowing devices with
redundant link capability to be inter-connected
with these media converters, as a failure in one
fiber link will be signalled to the switch, allowing
the second link to become active.
Simple Installation
The media converters allow the installer to test
the integrity of fiber connection, by forcing the
converters to communicate over the fiber cable.
This Link Test feature allows installers to check
for cable faults without the need for expensive
fiber-optic test equipment.
Standalone or Rack-mount
Each small media converter is powered by an
external power supply unit for use in standalone
applications. Where multiple media converters
are being used, up to 12 standalone devices can
be inserted into a low-cost rack-mount chassis,
allowing all the converters to be powered by a
single internal power supply. In critical
applications, a second load sharing internal
power supply can be installed into the rackmount chassis.
Hassle Free Support
Allied Telesis Fast Ethernet media conver ters
offer free technical suppor t, ensuring troublefree installation.

Link Test
The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the
connections between the media converter ports and the
end-nodes that are connected to the ports. If a network
problem occurs, you can perform a link test to
determine which port is experiencing a problem, and be
