Allied Telesis Media Converter
If you manage a small-to-medium network, you know how difficult it is to stretch gigabit Ethernet beyond 100 m of copper. You may have faced signal loss, costly cable upgrades, or limited placement of switches. This desktop media converter fits neatly into any rack or desk, converting your existing copper link to fibre so you can reach distant workstations or servers without replacing the whole cabling infrastructure.
Benefits of Allied Telesis Media Converter
- Simple installation: Plug-and-play design means no configuration headaches.
- Space-saving: Small dimensions let you place it wherever you need connectivity.
- Energy efficient: Only 1.5 W power draw reduces operating costs.
- Reliable link: Automatic link restoration and Smart Missing Link keep the network up.
Usages of a 550 m Media Converter
Ideal for extending gigabit Ethernet between office floors, connecting remote conference rooms, linking server rooms across a campus, or upgrading legacy copper networks to fibre in industrial environments where distance and interference are concerns.
