Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds, delivering data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps. It handles conversion between 10/100Base-TX on the RJ-45 side and 100Base-FX on the SC fiber side, ensuring seamless interoperability across mixed-media network topologies.
The unit supports multi-mode fiber optic cabling, which is commonly used for shorter-distance backbone connections within buildings or campuses. With a maximum supported distance of 2 kilometers, it effectively extends network segments beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard twisted pair cabling.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The IMC200T/SC simplifies network expansion by converting between copper and fiber media without requiring expensive switch upgrades or complex reconfiguration. Its standalone design allows flexible placement on desks, shelves, or mounted on rails, adapting to various installation environments.
Cost-Effective Fiber Integration
Enables the use of existing twisted pair infrastructure while adding fiber optic segments for extended reach or noise immunity, reducing overall network upgrade costs.
- Leverages current copper cabling
- Adds fiber backbone capability
- Avoids full infrastructure replacement
Flexible Deployment Options
The converter can be placed on any flat surface as a standalone unit or secured on standard equipment rails for organized rack mounting.
- Standalone operation
- Rail-mountable design
- Compact footprint
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network connections between buildings, across large floors, or in environments where electromagnetic interference affects copper cabling performance. It effectively bridges the gap between fiber backbone segments and copper-based edge devices.
Common applications include connecting fiber optic backbone lines to copper-based switches, routers, or end devices in offices, warehouses, educational campuses, and industrial settings. The 2-kilometer fiber reach makes it suitable for inter-building links where direct copper connections are impractical.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Extend network segments between separate structures using fiber optic cabling for distance and electrical isolation, while maintaining compatibility with copper-based equipment at each endpoint.
Noise-Immune Industrial Networks
Replace susceptible copper runs with fiber optic links in manufacturing or utility environments where electromagnetic interference can disrupt network communications.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 1.40 inches in height, 4.40 inches in width, and 3.80 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 1.65 pounds. Its compact dimensions allow for discreet placement in network closets, on equipment racks, or alongside other networking hardware. The dual form factor supports both standalone desktop use and organized rail mounting in rack environments.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually do?
This device converts network signals between copper twisted pair cabling (using an RJ-45 connector) and multi-mode fiber optic cabling (using an SC connector). It allows you to connect standard Ethernet devices to fiber optic network segments, extending the network's reach and providing electrical isolation between segments.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
The converter supports fiber optic connections up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multi-mode fiber cabling. This significantly extends network reach beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard twisted pair Ethernet cabling.
What type of fiber connector does this converter use?
It uses an SC connector for the fiber optic interface. SC connectors are common in networking environments for their reliable push-pull latching mechanism and good performance with multi-mode fiber installations.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack?
Yes, the converter supports rail mounting for installation in standard equipment racks. It also functions as a standalone unit that can be placed on any flat surface, providing flexibility for different deployment scenarios.
What power source does this device require?
The converter operates on DC power. You will need to use an appropriate DC power adapter (not included) that matches the voltage and current requirements specified in the product documentation for proper operation.
Is this product TAA compliant?
Yes, this Allied Telesis media converter is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for procurement by U.S. government agencies, educational institutions, and other organizations that require TAA-compliant networking equipment.
