|
Advanced IP feature set |
|
ECO Energy Saver |
Energy-saving feature that controls when power is applied to the chassis-based Media Converters and Ethernet Extenders as per a pre-defined user configurable schedule. Define by slot #, day of the week and time of day. Power to the chassis slots can also be controlled manually by an authorized user. |

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.
Extend Ethernet across Twisted Pair or Coaxial Wire
In this enterprise campus application, up to 18 Managed Ethernet Extenders are installed in the MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis. The 19th slot in the chassis is filled the MCR-MGT Management Module. All Ethernet Extenders in the chassis are managed by SNMP, Telnet or an internet browser interface. By consolidating Ethernet Extension in a rack mount chassis, various types of 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.
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.
Managed Ethernet over Fiber Links
Manage your multimode to single mode or multimode to multimode link with an MCR200 chassis housing a media converter and management module. Ideal for use in managed networks with low density fiber applications, this Managed Media Converter is connected across a fiber link to a remote media converter. The copper or fiber link on the managed standalone unit can provide vital information and status to network management tools such as SNMP.
High Density Fiber Distribution from UTP Switch Equipment at Corporate Headquarters
In this enterprise campus application, up to 18 Perle CM-100 Fast Ethernet to Fiber Media Converters are installed in the MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis. The 19th slot in the chassis is filled the MCR-MGT Management Module. All media converts in the chassis are managed by SNMP, Telnet or an internet browser interface. 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.
