Overview
The AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL are Ethernet and Fast Ethernet media
converters designed to transfer Ethernet data between twisted pair cabling
and multimode fiber optic cabling. These media converters allow you to extend
the distance of your network up to 300 meters (984 feet) or 2 kilometers (1.2
miles), depending on the operating speed.
The AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL media converters have a 10Base-T/
100Base-TX twisted pair port and a 10Base-FL/100Base-SX fiber optic port.
The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating
distance of 100 meters (328 feet). The fiber optic port has either a SC or ST
connector, depending on the model. Both ports can operate at either 10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps and feature half- and full-duplex operation.
The AT-MC115XL and AT-MC116XL media converters can be used on a
desktop or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These units are easy to install and do not
require software configuration or management.
