Overview
The AT-MC1004 and AT-MC1005/x Series Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters
are designed to extend the distance of your network by converting Gigabit
Ethernet data between twisted pair cabling and either multimode or singlemode fiber optic cabling.
The AT-MC1004 media converter features a 1000Base-SX fiber optic port and
a 1000Base-T twisted pair port. The fiber optic port has an SC connector and a
maximum operating distance of 550 meters (1,804 feet). The twisted pair port
has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328
feet).
The AT-MC1005/x media converters feature a 1000Base-LX fiber optic port
and a 1000Base-T twisted pair port. The fiber optic port has an SC connector
and a maximum operating distance of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) to 70
kilometers (43.4 miles), depending on the model. The twisted pair port has an
RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
These units operate at 1000 Mbps and feature full-duplex operation.
The AT-MC1004 and AT-MC1005/x Series Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters
can be used on a desktop or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These units are easy to
install and do not require any software configuration or management. Figure

Overview
Fiber Optic Port
The 1000Base-SX port on the AT-MC1004 media converter has an SC
connector and is designed to operate with multimode fiber optic cabling. This
port has a maximum operating distance of 550 meters (1,804 feet) using 62.5/
125 micron multimode fiber optic cable.
The 1000Base-LX port on the AT-MC1005/x Series Media Converters has an
SC connector and is designed to operate with single-mode fiber optic cabling.
This port has a maximum operating distance of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) to 70
kilometers (43.4 miles), depending on your model, using 9/125 micron singlemode fiber optic cable.
Mode Selection Button
Link Test
The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the connections between the
Gigabit Ethernet 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 able to focus your
troubleshooting efforts on the cable and end-node where the problem resides.
A link test is performed when the Mode Selection button is toggled until the
LT LED is green.
Note
Performing a link test does not interfere with a media converter’s ability
to pass network traffic.
MissingLink
The MissingLink feature enables the fiber optic ports on the Gigabit Ethernet
media converter to pass the “Link” status of their connections to each other.
When the media converter detects a problem with one of the ports, such as the
loss of connection to an end-node, the media converter shuts down the
connection to the other port, thus notifying the end-node that the connection
has been lost.
