Allied Telesis AT-MMC2000/LC-960 1000 Mbit/s 1000Base-SX 2000 m Media Converter

Network downtime can cripple productivity, especially when you need to bridge copper Ethernet and fiber links across a busy office or data centre. The Allied Telesis AT-MMC2000/LC-960 1000 Mbit/s 1000Base-SX 2000 m Media Converter converts 10/100/1000 T copper to 1000Base-SX multimode fiber, extending your network up to 2000 m while keeping power use to just 1.7 W.

Usages of a 1000 Mbit/s Media Converter

Ideal for connecting switches, servers or IP cameras in buildings where copper cabling cannot reach, this converter lets you run high-speed Gigabit traffic over existing multimode fiber runs, supporting distances from 220 m to 2000 m in everyday installations.

Benefits of Allied Telesis Media Converter

• Easy integration: auto-negotiates speed and duplex, so you plug it in and it works.
