FAQ
What types of connections does this media converter support?
This media converter supports 100Base-TX connections over twisted pair copper cabling through its RJ-45 port and 100Base-FX connections over fiber optic cabling through its SC port. It converts signals between these two media types at Fast Ethernet speeds of 100 Mbps.
Can this converter be mounted on a wall?
Yes, the AT-DMC100/SC-90 can be wall-mounted using the optional AT-DMCWLMT mounting kit, which is sold separately. The desktop form factor provides placement flexibility for various installation scenarios, including space-constrained environments.
What network features does this media converter include?
This converter includes auto-negotiation for automatic connection parameter configuration, auto MDI/MDI-X to eliminate crossover cable requirements, Smart MissingLink technology for connection monitoring, Smart Link Restoration for automatic link recovery, and link test functionality. It also operates transparently to IEEE 802.1Q VLAN packets.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
When converting from copper to fiber, this media converter enables network extension beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper cabling. The actual maximum distance depends on the fiber optic cable type and quality used with the SC port, as the converter itself facilitates the media conversion rather than imposing specific distance limits.
