AT-MC115XL
10/100TX to 10FL/100SX 850nm fiber
ST media converter
AT-MC116XL
10/100TX to 10FL/100SX 850nm fiber
SC media converter
Fiber Connections
The Allied Telesis range of 850nm fiber Fast
Ethernet media converters allows users to
extend the size of UTP networks with the use
of fiber cabling. Converting between 10T and
10FL or 100TX and 100SX fiber quickly and
reliably, the AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL
address the growing demand for a low-cost
solution for fiber installations of up to 300
meters for 100SX and up to 2km for 10FL.To
maximize flexibility, the converters are available
in ST (A
T-MC115XL) and SC (AT-MC116XL)
fiber connector styles.
Auto-Negotiation
The AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL auto-
negotiate during the link-up phase of the
connection to set the speed (10/100) and
operation mode (full or half-duplex).When
connecting media converters to auto-
negotiating Fast Ethernet switches, these media
converters will automatically connect the link in
either full or half-duplex mode, allowing the link
to be estab
lished with the greatest bandwidth.
MissingLink™
The MissingLink feature allows accurate
reporting to network management systems as
well as allowing devices with redundant link
capability to be inter-connected with these
media converters, failure in one fiber link will be
signalled to the switch, allowing the second link
to become activ
e.
Simple Installation
All the media con
verters with a UTP
connection feature an internal MDI/MDI-X
switch, 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
installers to check for cable faults without the
need for expensive fiber optic test equipment.
Standalone or Rack-mountable
Each media con
verter is powered by an
external power supply unit for use in standalone
applications.Where multiple media converters
are being used, up to 12 devices can be
inserted into a low-cost rack-mount chassis,
allo
wing all the con
v
er
ter
s to be po
wered by a
single internal power supply. In critical
applications, a second load sharing internal
po
w
er supply can be installed into the rack-
mount chassis.
