Allied Telesis AT-DMC100/LC Transceiver/Media Converter - 3 Port(s) - 1 x Network (RJ-45) - USB - Twisted Pair, Optical Fiber - Multi-mode Fiber - Fast Ethernet - 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX - Wall Mountable, Desktop At just 1. 25 inches wide x 3. 6 inches deep x 0. 85 inches high, Allied Telesis DMC Series media converters can easily fit into the palm of a hand. In addition to being compact-with a small carbon footprint-the DMC Series can also be powered with the included Micro USB to USB cable, and plugged directly into a laptop or PC or may also be powered via the optional AC/DC adapter. This saves installation time and cabling as there are no further power requirements. Fiber Connections The Allied Telesis range of Gigabit media converters provides a complete family of conversion devices, allowing users to extend the size of UTP networks with the use of fiber cabling. Supporting SC, ST and LC fiber connectors, these converters can be used to extend networks with up to 500m of multi-mode fiber. VLAN Support Many new backbone switch products now support the industry-standard IEEE 802. 1Q specification for Virtual LANs (VLANs) that send data packets on the network. DMC Series media converters are fully compatible with these packets, enabling them to be used in modern networks. Media converters not supporting this feature discard these packets, making them unsuitable for modern networks. Smart Missing Link (SML) The Smart Missing Link(TM) (SML) feature monitors network connections and provides notification when network segments fail, allowing network managers to quickly identify the source and location of failed segments and minimize downtime. Simple Installation All Allied Telesis media converters feature auto MDI/MDI-X, allowing the converter to be connected to either a PC, hub or switch with a simple UTP cable. The media converters also allow the installer to test the integrity of the fiber connection, by forcing the converters to communicate over the fiber cable. This Link
