Fiber Connections
The Allied Telesis range of Fast Ethernet Media
convertersprovides a complete family of
conversion devices, allowing users to extend the
sizeof UTP networks with the use of fiber
cabling. Supporting both SC and ST fiber
connectors, these converters can be used to
extend networks with up to 2km of multi-mode
fiber or 40km of single-mode fiber.
Auto-Negotiation and MissingLink™
The MissingLink™ feature enables the fiber
optic ports on the media converter to pass the
‘Link’ status of their connections to each other.
When the media converter detects a problem
with one of the ports, such as the loss of
connection to an end-node, the media
converter shuts down the connection to the
other port, thus notifying the node that the
connection has been lost.
Simple Installation
All the media converters feature Auto
MDI/MDI-X, allowing the converter to be
connected to either a PC, hub or switch with a
simple UTP cable.The media converters also
allow the installer to test the integrity of fiber
connection, by forcing the converters to
communicate over the fiber cable.This ‘Link Test’
feature allows installersto check for cable faults
without the need for expensive fiber optic test
equipment.
Standalone or Rack-mounted
Each small media converter is powered by an
external power supply unit for use in standalone
applications. Where multiple media converters
are being used, up to 12 standalone devices can
be inserted into a low-cost rack-mount chassis,
allowing all the converters to be powered by a
single internal power supply. In critical
applications, asecond load sharing internal
power supply can be installed into the rack-
mount chassis.
Hassle Free Support
Allied Telesis Fast 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 be
able to focus your troubleshooting efforts on the cable
or end-node where the problem resides.
MissingLinkTM
The MissingLinkTM 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.
