Introduction

Product Summary & Benefits

The 10Base-T to 10Base-2 Media Converter was specifically
designed to offer the network designer the tools for migration from
Coaxial based Ethernet to UTP based Ethernet. Now, migration or
expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum
cost and complexity. The converter is completely transparent to
the network so the network performs exactly the way it did before ­only now it can migrate both UTP and Coaxial mediums.

Expands the Size of an Existing Network

Provides UTP/Coaxial connectivity to Ethernet segments, allowing
for even further networking expansion between extended nodes.
Allows for the quick and easy addition of Coaxial segments to
existing 10Base-T networks.

Enhances Networking Distances

Connecting this converter to UTP segments can further extend
distances of up to 185 meters for a total segment length of 285
meters. The Converter can be connected to an additional Fiber
converter for even longer extensions.

Cabling Flexibility

This unit allows network managers to put UTP cabling anywhere
within a network without retrofitting the arrangement of the Ethernet
network. Its sleek design makes it easy to be install in a compact
space or on wall mount locations. Several converters can be
simultaneously installed by using a 19” Rack-mount Chassis.
