The MC-1000SCMM & MC-1000SCSM is Optix Solutions answer to expanding existing Gigabit networks, a compact and reliable solution with high performance for the migration from copper to fiber based networks. The easy implementation and expansion of 1000Base-T/SX or LX networks can be further assured with this converter. The converter boasts enhanced with such features as remote and local loopback testing, and auto-negotiation for total reliability. It also features four DIP switches for manual activation of the enhanced features. This gives the MC-1000-MM/ MC-1000-SM the ability to be quickly integrated into a network configuration.

Extra distances are possible with the long haul single mode version delivering up to 80km connectivity.

Product Summary & Benefits:

The MC-1000SC-MM / MC-1000SC-SM media converters were specifically designed to offer network designers the tools for migration from copper based Gigabit to fiber Gigabit. Now, migration or expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum cost and complexity. The converters are completely transparent when installed so the network performs exactly the way it did before - only now, it can migrate both copper and fiber medium.
Expands the Size of an Existing Network - Provides fiber connectivity to Gigabit segments for even further networking expansion between extended workgroups. They also provide building-to-building connectivity without the need to employ expensive and MIS intensive routers.
Enhances the Distance between Networking Devices - Connecting the MC-1000-MM & MC-1000-SM to fiber segments can further extend distances of up to 80Km between networking nodes. This can be achieved by a direct connection between the converter and a fiber networking device.
Loopback Test - Once enabled via a DIP-switch, the Remote or Local Loopback test feature allows the administrator to instantly determine the status of the cable connection. This offers a simpler approach to troubleshooting; no more manual inspection of cables and wiring closets.
Support NWay - The MC-1000-MM & MC-1000-SM takes advantage of intelligent connection technology to support auto-negotiation, thereby eliminating the hassle of manually configuring or monitoring the settings. This ensures a plug-n-play operability.
Cabling Flexibility - Allows network managers to put fiber cabling anywhere within a network without changing the arrangement of copper based Gigabit. Their compact size allows the converter to be easily deployed in any narrow desktop location or used in wall-mount installation. Several converters can be simultaneously installed by using the MC-1600C-12 12-slot 19" rack-mount chassis, MC-1600C-4 4-slot rack-mount chassis.
