1G медиаконвертер SC > 1000Base-TX (неуправляемый) MCGE - DTC
Gigabit media converters of the MCGE series — are intelligent, adaptive, and high-performance Ethernet devices designed to convert electrical signals 10/100/1000Base-T from copper twisted pair into 1000Base-FX over fiber optic cable. The MCGE series enables efficient extension of existing Ethernet networks up to a distance of 120 km without loss of stability or transmission quality.
Thanks to support for single-mode and multi-mode fiber, a wide range of wavelengths, and automatic speed negotiation, MCGE media converters are a cost-effective alternative to active network equipment when building backbone, distribution, and remote communication links.
Key advantages of the MCGE series
- Transmission distance up to 120 km — support for MM and SM fiber (0.55 km / up to 120 km).
- Automatic speed adaptation — 10/100/1000 Mbps without manual configuration.
- IEEE standards support — 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3z.
- Full and half duplex with IEEE 802.3x flow control.
- Automatic MDI/MDI-X detection — no need for crossover cables.
- Built-in memory buffer up to 2 MB — stable operation under peak loads.
- Unique IC solution — increased stability and long service life.
- MTBF over 50,000 hours — industrial-grade reliability.
- Hot-pluggable — replacement without powering down the system.
- Wall or rack mounting — support for 2U 19″ chassis (up to 14 standalone or 16 card versions).
- LED indicators — power, link, activity, speed, duplex mode.
Application scenarios
- Operator and metropolitan fiber optic networks
- Connection of remote buildings and sites
- Corporate and campus networks
- Video surveillance systems and IP cameras
- Industrial facilities and energy sector
- Gigabit Ethernet extension for high-load segments
