1.3 About the Managed Media Converter Chassis
The MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 series provide 16-slots and one management system in a 19”-rack chassis, the
MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 series is designed for the applications such as FTTx installation for ISPs, telecoms, campuses
and enterprises. Various types of optic connectors, and fiber-optic wires on the distance basis are provides flexibly.
The 16-slots for optional FST-8 / GST-7 / GST-8 series Fast / Gigabit Ethernet Smart Media Converter installation makes
building a network solution of FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTB(Fiber to the Building) or FTTC(Fiber to the Curb) for ISPs,
enterprises and campuses, MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 series builds the FTTx easily. Therefore, the MC-1610MR /
MC-1610MR48 series will perfectly satisfy diverse demands while providing reliable and efficient network solution based on
distance and installation budgets.
With an independent power supply on each slot of the MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 series, any converter is hot-swappable
without causing an interruption to other converters; the FST and GST Series Smart Media Converter provide Media conversion
between copper to FX, SX and LX optical model for distance from 220m and up to 120km kilometers. The flexibility allows
MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 series to grow with the network and providing space efficient and cost-effective scalable solu-
tion.
The management function enables network administrators to monitor Media Converter connection status and configure the
converter via Web browser remotely or locally via an RS-232 console port. Its management function allow network adminis-
trator to monitor the slide in converter module connection status and configure the converter module. Through the
management interface, the entire status of the converters will be clearly demonstrated within the chassis form on / off and
status / statistics of ports. The MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 series is great ideal for telecom and corporate applications where
a number of fiber links need to be managed and controlled from a central location.
Power Redundant - MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 series supports the optional hot-swappable Redundant Power System
(RPS). The MC-1610MR equip with one 100~240V AC power supply unit and MC-1610MR48 equip with one DC -48V power
supply unit on its standard package, both MC-1610MR and MC-1610MR48 provide one spare power supply unit slot for option
redundant power supply installation. A redundant power supply is also provided to enhance the reliability with options of either
100~240V AC power supply unit or DC -48V power supply unit. The continuous power systems are specifically designed to
handle the demands of high tech facilities requiring the highest power integrity available. Also, -48V DC power supply im-
plemented make it as telecom level device that can be located at the electronic room.
Fiber-Optic Redundant Link - The redundancy back-up and error tolerance capability of the link can be greatly improved to
guarantee the network stability. The redundant link is designed for critical networks that require fibers or copper links to
automatically rapid recovery, such as ISPs, telecom, hospitals, banks and enterprises. If the port status of master converter is
link down, it forwards the packet to the slave converter’s port of the backup pair.
Temperature and FAN status Monitoring - The MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 series is equipped with temperature senor
and cooling fans to ensure reliable operation. Whenever the temperature detects or cooling fan stop service, the Managed
Media Converter Chassis display related information on the Web management interface.
