AT-MC1008/GB
1000T, GBIC pluggable media converter
AT-MC1008/SP
1000T, SFP pluggable media converter
Overview
The MC1008 series Ethernet media converters
are designed to extend the distance of your
network by interconnecting LAN devices that
are physically separated by large distances. These
media converters have the functionality to
connect any managed/unmanaged 1000Mbps
(1Gbps) switch or hub using standard 1000T
RJ-45 connections and convert the signal to
1000Base optical via a GBIC or SFP. The
pluggable optics feature allows for flexible
network configurations of reach whilst reducing
the number of products for sparing and
inventory.
Extend the Distance of Ethernet
Each AT-MC1008 media converter features a
1000T twisted pair port and a GBIC or SFP
port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45
connector and a maximum operating distance
of 100 meters (328 feet).
For the AT-MC1008/GB, the fiber optic port has
a GBIC slot and a maximum operating distance
dependent on the GBIC.
For the AT-MC1008/SP, the fiber optic port has
an SFP slot and a maximum operating distance
dependent on the SFP.
Cost-effective Migration
Although the provisioning of Gigabit Ethernet
connections is becoming relatively inexpensive,
thanks in part to the availability of lower-cost
copper Gigabit network adapters, the distance
limitations of copper cabling make fiber
segments a necessity in most networks. Small,
comparatively inexpensive copper to fiber
Gigabit Ethernet media converters present a
simple and very cost-effective way of connecting
Gigabit Ethernet LANs over extended distances.
Standalone or Rac -mounted
Each small media converter is powered by an
external power supply unit for use in standalone
applications. here multiple media converters
are used, up to 12 standalone devices can be
inserted into a low-cost AT-MCR12 rack-mount
chassis, allowing all the converters to be
powered by a single internal power supply. In
critical applications, a second load sharing
internal power supply can be installed into the
rack-mount chassis.

All Allied Telesis Ethernet media converters offer
free technical support, ensuring trouble-free
installation.

Link Test
The link test is a fast and easy way for you to test the
connections between the media converter ports and the
end-nodes that are connected to the ports. If a network
problem occurs, you can perform a link test to
determine which port is experiencing a problem, and so
be able to focus your troubleshooting efforts on the
cable or end-node where the problem resides.
MissingLink
The issingLink feature enables the two ports on the
media converter to pass the ‘Link’ status of their
connections to each other. When the media converter
detects a loss of connection to an end-node, the media
converter shuts down the connection to the other port,
thus notifying the end-node that the connection has
been lost.
Smart MissingLink
The Smart issingLink feature performs exactly the same
function as issingLink with one additional feature.
When a link is lost on a port, the LINK LED of the
port which still has a valid connection to its end-node
starts to blink. This allows you to quickly determine
which port still has a valid connection (LINK LED
blinking) and which port has lost its connection (LINK
LED off).
