MediaConverter Series

Ethernet-based, Modular Media Converters

The MediaConverter Series is a cost-effective solution for extending the
life of legacy equipment and bringing fiber to the desktop.

Features and Benefits

Modules meet a variety of installation
requirements

Supports Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and •
Gigabit Ethernet, and up to OC-3 for
mode converters
Available for multi-mode or single-mode •
fiber with ST or SC fiber connectors
Supports very long fiber distances•

A variety of chassis options

Table-top or rackmountable•
1-, 4-, 8- and 12-slot chassis•
12-slot chassis is only 1U high •
AC power•

Maximizes network uptime

Modular, hot-swappable architecture •
reduces operational costs associated
with product installation, upgrades and
maintenance

Eases Troubleshooting

LinkLoss and FiberAlert features assist •
in diagnosing problems on fiber optic
networks

Your network is growing and many new access points, workstations,
etc. are required. However, legacy equipment, along with your
existing wiring infrastructure, must work with any new equipment
you implement in your network. When copper-to-fiber, copper­to-coax or fiber-to-fiber conversions are required, along with
advanced troubleshooting features, our MediaConverter Series is
the perfect solution.

IMC Networks’ MediaConverter Series enables you to easily and
cost-effectively connect one type of media to other dissimilar
media or networking products. This series increases the
functionality and extends the productive life of both your legacy
cabling infrastructure and networking equipment when adding
fiber to your network.
