MCR1900 Modular Chassis System
19-module chassis for Media Converters and Ethernet Extenders
- High density 19-slot system
- Fits a standard 19” or 23” rack – 2U height
- Hot-swappable slide-in modules
- Redundant hot-swappable AC and 48v DC power supplies
The Perle MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis is the most reliable high density modular chassis system available today. It is ideal for enterprise and campus environments where multiple points of copper and/or fiber integration are essential. An end-to-end copper to copper, copper to fiber, multimode to single mode or multimode to multimode solution can be achieved by pairing modules in this high density chassis with another Perle MCR1900 chassis standalone media converters, or standalone Ethernet extenders. Management of Media Converter Modules and chassis can be performed with the addition of a chassis management module. For a low to mid density solution, please check out the MCR200 Media Converter Chassis.
For those environments requiring a medium to large-scale deployment of media converters, a centralized platform that simplifies the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of this gear is recommended. PerleVIEW Device Management software is a multi-user, Windows server-based application that delivers this level of Enterprise-grade solution.
MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis Features
High Density Media Converter Platform |
Insert up to 19 modules into a single 2U chassis. The modules share a common power source. |
Rugged Chassis Design |
|
Hot-Swappable modules |
Modules can be inserted and removed with no impact to the rest of the system. Upon insertion the module will automatically be powered up and begin functioning. Modules can be placed in any slot and in any order. |
Power Supply Failover |
On dual power supply configurations, the load sharing power supplies provide instant failover should a power supply or power source fail. A single power supply can provide more than sufficient power for a fully loaded system. |
Intelligent Alarm Relay |
A backplane controller provides continuous monitoring of vital chassis resources. The built-in, normally open/closed, dry contact relay will engage on the following fault conditions:

Application Diagrams
Ethernet to Fiber in a Campus Network
The use of chassis-based media converters is a cost effective means in providing fiber connectivity in a campus network. By consolidating Ethernet to fiber conversion in a rack mount media converter chassis, various types of fiber links can be brought into a single wiring closet platform. This simplifies deployment and maintenance and also provides a scalable means to grow your network as needed.
High Density Fiber Distribution from UTP Switch Equipment at Corporate Headquarters
In this enterprise campus application, up to 19 Perle Ethernet to Fiber Media Converters are installed in the MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis. A remote fiber enabled Ethernet switch is connected directly to the central MCR1900 Chassis. A standalone Media Converter converts the fiber to Ethernet in a fiber-to-desktop application. Another standalone Fiber Media Converter is connected to a remote office Ethernet switch. In all cases, multimode or single-mode fiber can be used. Fiber links can be extended up to 120km using single-mode fiber.

High Density Fiber Distribution from Fiber Switch Equipment at Corporate Headquarters
In this enterprise campus application, up to 19 Perle Fiber to Fiber Media Converters ( Multimode to Single mode ) are installed in the MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis. A remote single mode fiber enabled Ethernet switch is connected directly to the central MCR1900 Chassis. Another standalone Fiber Media Converter is connected to a remote office Fiber switch. In all cases, multimode or single-mode fiber can be used. Fiber links can be extended up to 160km using single-mode fiber.
Extend 10/100/1000 Ethernet across Twisted Pair or Coaxial Wire
Extend an Ethernet link beyond the 100 meter ( 328 feet ) limit using Ethernet Extenders. Distances of up to 3 km ( 10,000 feet ) can be achieved over twisted pair Cat 5,6 or 7 cable. You can also install along with Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter Modules and extend the Ethernet connection over fiber for greater distance.
