OverviewThe Allied Telesis MMC2000 Series of Gigabit mini media converters leverages its smaller size to not only help the environment with a small carbon footprint but also to save space in its working environment. Despite its compact size the MMC2000 Series delivers all the power and functionality of standard size media converters.Extend NetworksThe MMC2000 Series mini media converters are the ideal solution for upgrading a traditional 100Mbps Ethernet network or extending a Gigabit network. The MMC2000 Series is designed to extend the distance of a network by converting Gigabit data between twisted pair and fiber-optic cabling. The MMC2000 features a 1000X fiber port and a 10/100/1000T twisted-pair port. The fiber-optic port features an SC ST LC or SFP connector (depending on the model). The twisted-pair port has an RJ-45 connector with a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).VLAN SupportMany new backbone switch products now support the industry-standard IEEE 802.1Q specification for Virtual LANs (VLANs) that send extra- long data packets on the network. The MMC2000 switches are fully compatible with these long packets enabling them to be used in modern networks. Media converters not supporting this feature discard these extra long packets making them unsuitable for modern networks.Small and FlexibleThe smaller size and external power supply of the MMC2000 Series allows them to be used almost anywhere.Smart MissingLink (SML)The Smart MissingLink (SML) feature monitors network connections and provides notification when network segments fail allowing network managers to quickly identify the source and location of failed segments and minimize downtime.Smart Link RestorationSmart Link restoration allows the devices in cases of power failure link loss or other interrupted service to automatically restore the link without the need to restart/reset them.Power SavingThe MMC Series continues the Allied Telesis commitment to the environment with over 50% power savings. With just 1.7W of power usage the MMC Series media converters are some of the most efficient in the market today.
