AT-IMC1000T/SFP Gigabit Ethernet Industrial Media Converter
1.
1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
The AT-IMC1000T/SFP Gigabit Ethernet Industrial Media Converter is designed to convert Gigabit copper Ethernet
networks to Gigabit fiber networks by transparently converting Ethernet signals to optic signals. The advantages of
fiber optics are wide bandwidth, EMI immunity and long-distance transmission capability. The AT-IMC1000T/SFP is
an ideal solution for “fiber to building” applications at central offices or local sites. On the copper port, it supports
MDI/MDIX auto detection, so you don’t need to use crossover wires. Furthermore, the AT-IMC1000T/SFP can work
normally in an extended temperature range from -40°C to 75°C and accepts a wide voltage range from +12 ~ 48
VDC. It also provides 3,000 VDC surge (EFT) protection against over-voltage, so it is suitable for harsh operating
environments.
1.1.1 Gigabit Fiber Converter
This switch converter has one SFP slot which provides the flexibility when planning and implementing a network.
The slot can accept most 1000M SFP-type fiber modules that are designed for transmitting over many Kilometers.
This means you can easily change the transmission mode and distance of the switch by simply pulling out the SFP
module and plugging in a different module. The SFP module is hot-swappable and plug-and-play.
1.1.2 Dual Power Input
To reduce the risk of power failure, the Industrial Media Converter provides +12 ~ 48 VDC dual power inputs. If
there is power failure, the unit will switch automatically to the secondary power input.
1.1.3 Flexible Mounting
The Industrial Media Converter is compact and can be mounted on a DIN-Rail or a wall, so it is suitable for any
space-constrained environment.
1.1.4 Advanced Protection
The power line of the switch converter supports up to 3,000 VDC EFT protection, which secure equipment against
unregulated voltage and makes the unit safer and more reliable. Meanwhile, 6,000 VDC ESD protections for Ether-
net ports make the Industrial Media Converter more suitable for harsh environments.
1.1.5 Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature of the the switch converter is between -40°C to 75°C. With such a wide range, you can
use the Industrial Media Converter in some of the harshest industrial environments that exist.
1.1.6 Environments
This equipment is for use in pollution degree 2 environments.

1.1.7 Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. The 10/100/1000 Base-TX port (P1) has 2 LEDs that display
the link status, network activity and the port speed. Also the three power indicators P1, P2 and Fault can help you
diagnose power issues immediately.

AT-IMC1000T/SFP Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Media Converter User Manual
2.6 DIP-Switch
Table 2-2: Industrial Media Converter DIP-Switch Status Definition
Link Loss Forwarding (DIP-Switch 2): When LLF enabled, it allows UTP link failures to be reported to the fiber
side and also allows Fiber link failures to be reported to the UTP side. Therefore, a link fault pass-through feature is
provided in both UTP and Fiber side.
Note: When SW 2 is on, once the fiber or UTP/STP cable is disconnected, the LNK/ACT LED off. When the
cable is reconnected, the LNK/ACT LED blinks for 2 ~ 6 seconds which means the connection is
recovering from failure.
Note: Please don't change the DIP-switch setting when UTP or fiber port is transmitting or receiving data. It
may cause some data error.
Note: Besides, if you change the DIP-switch setting, please power off the converter and power on again to
make the setting effective.
2.7 Ports
RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX or 1000Base-T
devices connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another switch or workstation without chang-
ing straight through or crossover cabling. See figures as below for straight through and crossover cable schematic.
