Lan Electronics - Media Converters

Two ranges of Ethernet fibre media converters are available: These converters support all current Ethernet standards and enable easy extension of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX RJ-45 LAN circuits from routers, switches, NICs and other Ethernet devices over optical fibres. In addition. the Gigabit converters are ideal for backbone network extension. Both Media converter ranges now also include WDM single fibre converters.

Both multimode and singlemode optical fibre links are supported using ST, SC and MT-RJ connectors. The high quality converters are very simple to install with auto-negotiation of speed and auto-MDI/MDI-X detection.

A rack-mount 19" chassis system is available for high density applications when using unmanaged converters, managed converters are rack mounted.

SC Singlemode WDM Single fibre 1310nm 0-1591031-xSpare Power Unit for 10 Slot Chasssis Unit 0-1591034-x

The media converters can be either standalone or mounted in a 19" rack-mount chassis unit. The chassis can support up to 10 media converters and is supplied with 1 AC power unit but can be fitted with a second power unit for dual-redundant operation. These power units can be hot-swapped from the front panel without any impact on the converters

It is important to remember that WDM converters must be installed in pairs.

A 1550nm converter must be connected to a 1310nm converter over a single fibre core.

The managed media converters are plug in cards that are located in a 16 slot chassis unit. The chassis supports 16 converters and is shipped with a management card and an 1 AC power unit but a second AC unit or alternatively a 48v DC unit can be fitted for dual redundant operation. These power units can be hot-swapped from the rear of the chassis without any impact on the converters

It is important to remember that WDM converters must be installed in pairs.

A 1550nm converter must be connected to a 1310nm converter over a single fibre core.

Selecting The Correct Power Unit

Finally, using the table to the left, identify the required country/region and then substitute the value of X as the suffix of the order code.

For example, the part number of a 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet media converter with an MT-RJ optical connector for use in Italy is:

0-1591028-4
