Soundweb™ London
MC-1
OVERVIEW:
The MC-1 is a Gigabit Media Converter which provides transport up to 10 km (6.2 miles) using 1310nm single mode fiber
cable. In use, an MC-1 will be utilized on each end of a two conductor single mode fiber optic cable deployed between
two equipment rack locations.
The MC-1 is supplied with a wall mount bracket and external power supply.
The MC-1 utilizes automatic link restoration which re-establishes network links between two MC-1 devices should a
connected Soundweb London device be disconnected and reconnected to the network. This eliminates the need to reset
the MC-1 after patching or power loss of an attached Soundweb London device.
Status LEDs on the MC-1 provide indication of Power (PWR), Fiber Link RX (RXF), Fiber Link TX (LKF), Copper RX (RXC),
and Copper TX (LKC).
