Dissimilar media types, protocols and duplex settings can
make LAN internetworking and Fiber-to-the-Subscriber
projects challenging undertakings. For example, if the service
provider network infrastructure is 100 Mbps or Gigabit fiber
but the customer wants to receive a standard 10 Mbps
Ethernet interface to their LAN, making the connection
between the two network segments can be difficult. The
complexity of today's mixed media networks and the
increasing demand for bandwidth requires access equipment
that is both flexible in connecting different media types and
scalable between different speeds.
Convert speed, media and duplex mode:
The iMcV MediaLinX series of switching media converters
offers service providers and enterprise networks unparalleled
flexibility in connecting copper-based networks to Fast
Ethernet or Gigabit fiber optic infrastructures. The SNMP-
manageable MediaLinX converters allow device managers to
use Auto-Negotiation functionality on the twisted pair port for
plug-and-play operation, or to manually configure the port
for the desired speed and duplex mode. What's more, you
can even set the fiber port for Half- or Full-Duplex operation
(10/100 Mbps only). The iMcV-MediaLinX series includes
two models:
iMcV-MediaLinX:
One 10/100 twisted pair port with an RJ-45 connector.•
One 100 Mbps fiber port with ST or SC•
iMcV-Giga-MediaLinX:
One 10/100/1000 twisted pair port with an RJ-45•
connector.
One 1000 Mbps fiber port with SC connector(s).•
iThe iMcV MediaLinX series also includes troubleshooting
features and LEDs to assist in network diagnostics as well
as make isolating cable breaks easier should they occur. In
addition, hot-swappable MediaLinX modules significantly
reduce operation costs by allowing other modules within
the same chassis to remain up and running during product
upgrades, maintenance and troubleshooting.
