McBasic Series

Ethernet-based, Standalone Media Converters

When simple, individual, copper-to-fiber or copper-to-coax conversions
are required, along with advanced troubleshooting features, installing
McBasic Series standalone media converters is the perfect, cost-effective
solution.

Features and Benefits

Perfect for a variety of applications

Has a small, rugged design offering many •
advanced features

Meets a multitude of installation
requirements

Available in 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 •
Mbps, and auto-sensing 10/100 versions
Available for multi-mode or single-mode •
fiber
Also available for single-strand fiber •
Available with ST, SC •

Converts 10 Mbps twisted pair to fiber
today, and 100 Mbps twisted pair to
fiber tomorrow

McBasic 10/100 provides transparent end-•
to-end 10/100 auto-negotiation for easy
upgrade; no user intervention or visits to
remote locations required

Eases troubleshooting

LinkLoss, FiberAlert, Transparency and •
Link Fault Detection features, along with
LEDs, assist in diagnosing problems on
fiber optic networks

McBasic 10 Mbps Converters:

Convert 10 Mbps twisted pair to 10 Mbps •
fiber.
Convert 10 Mbps twisted pair to 10 Mbps •
thin coax.

McBasic 100 Mbps Converters:

Convert 100 Mbps twisted pair to 100 •
Mbps fiber.

McBasic 10/100, Auto-sensing
Dual-Speed Converters:

Convert 10 Mbps twisted pair to 10 Mbps •
fiber OR convert 100 Mbps twisted pair to

100 Mbps fiber.

McBasic-Gigabit 1000 Mbps Converters:

Convert 1000 Mbps twisted pair to 1000 •
Mbps fiber.
Features Link Fault Pass-Thru (LFPT), a •
troubleshooting feature that monitors
the copper and fiber ports of the unit;
if a port loses LINK, the unit disables
the transmitting signal on the other port
(Pass-Through) and notifies the user via
LED.

The McBasic’s small, table-top design and durability make it
perfect for installation anywhere space is limited. Additionally,
the McBasic comes with an internal AC power supply. This
feature significantly increases reliability over products that use
bulky, external AC/DC power transformers. The McBasic series
includes:

The McBasic includes troubleshooting features such as LinkLoss,
FiberAlert, Transparency and Link Fault Detection that make
isolating fiber breaks easier should they occur. The McBasic
also features either AutoCross or switch crossover/pass-through
switch on twisted pair connections, termination switch on
BNC ports, and diagnostic LEDs. Most McBasic units are
available with single-strand fiber which can effectively double
the capacity of fiber by allowing two individual channels to
share one strand of fiber; Full-Duplex data travels on different
wavelengths — 1310 nm and 1550 nm, for example.

Auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps McBasic converters offer significant
advantages over regular 10 and 100 Mbps converters. An
ideal choice for both enterprise and service provider networks,
10/100 converters save time and money when deployed at
the host and remote site. Enterprise networks planning a
migration path from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps often deploy auto­sensing converters, then upgrade when ready and units will
automatically adapt to increased speed. Service providers with
10 or 100 Mbps links to customer premises can sell customers
more bandwidth without upgrading the converters at the POP
and the customer network edge.
