1. Introduction
Media Converter Chassis
The CVH-2000 Media Converter Chassis provides compact management on up to 14
optional modular converter units, which allows your network connectivity to be more
flexible. Maximum 14 sets of 10M, 100M, 10/100M, 1000M multimode, single mode
optical transceivers can be installed in one frame under uniform power supply. This not
only reduces the number of tie wires and simplifies the structure, but also facilitates
easy management and maintenance
Fiber Converter
Fiber Converters convert Ethernet signals from twisted pair cable to fiber optic cable
and vice versa, providing seamless connection between two different media. By
connecting a 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T twisted pair devices to a 100
Base-FX compliant ST, SC port, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX this converter can
greatly increase the flexibility of Ethernet cabling connectivity.
1.1. Features
The Media Converter Chassis is a combination of 14-slot host cabinet and optional
several of media converter bracket modules. A maximum 14-bracket module can be
installed in the cabinet with two redundant power supplies. The Power supply supports
AC input type and redundant feature.
