Fiber Connections

The Allied Telesis range of 850nm fiber Fast
Ethernet media conver ters allows users to
extend the size of UTP networks with the use
of fiber cabling. Conver ting 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 conver ters are available
in ST (AT-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 conver ters to auto-
negotiating Fast Ethernet switches, these media
conver ters will automatically connect the link in
either full or half-duplex mode, allowing the link
to be established with the greatest bandwidth.

MissingLink™

The MissingLink feature allows accurate
repor ting to network management systems as
well as allowing devices with redundant link
capability to be inter-connected with these
media conver ters, failure in one fiber link will be
signalled to the switch, allowing the second link
to become active.

Simple Installation

All the media conver ters with a UTP
connection feature an internal MDI/MDI-X
switch, allowing the conver ter to be connected
to either a PC, hub or switch with a simple UTP
cable. The media conver ters also allow the
installer to test the integrity of fiber connection,
by forcing the conver ters 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 conver ter is powered by an
external power supply unit for use in standalone
applications. Where multiple media conver ters
are being used, up to 12 devices can be
inser ted into a low-cost rack-mount chassis,
allowing all the conver ters to be powered by a
single internal power supply. In critical
applications, a second load sharing internal
power supply can be installed into the rack-
mount chassis.
