MRO-TEK Fast Ethernet Media Converter FCAT-01

Description

The FCAT 01 series of Fast Ethernet Media converters provides media conversion from 10/100BASE-T to 100BASE-X on multimode or single mode fiber ranging from 2km to 100kms. Available in Managed, Unmanaged, Stand Alone/Rack, AC/DC Power supply options & a versatile range of Fiber Optic interfaces FCAT 01 series becomes a complete offering to suit Carriers, Service Providers & Enterprises for wide range of deployments.

Ethernet is now poised to be the preferred broadband access technology between carrier and customer networks. It will save carriers a fortune in CAPEX and help them deliver more bandwidth which means more customers and more revenue than today.

FCAT 01, the Unmanaged Media converter from MRO-TEK supports a variety of advanced features and flexible interface options, giving service providers the power to quickly and profitably deploy Ethernet services. Enterprise customers can leverage existing Ethernet infrastructure for long haul connects.

FCAT 01 is a rugged and reliable Fast Ethernet media converter providing seamless extension of Fast Ethernet on single mode/multimode fibre ranging from 2kms to 100kms.

FCAT 01, available in stand-alone and rack mount options enable carriers or enterprises for seamless integration of Fast Ethernet long haul connectivity solutions. The rack chassis can be populated with dual channel line modules in a standard 19-inch rack.

The high density rack chassis supports upto 12 line modules providing upto 24 independent Fast Ethernet connects. Hot-swappable line modules & redundant power supplies supplements high availability and ease of serviceability. The copper ports on the rack line modules can be configured for link speed using DIP switches on the front panel.
FCAT 01range of stand-alone Fast Ethernet media converters are available in Plastic enclosures with internal/external power supply options.

FCAT 01 supports multimode, single mode and single fiber long haul transmissions. Single fiber option is available for 15km & 40 km and long haul transmission support is available upto 100 kms.

The LFP (Link Fault Pass through) feature allows the fiber failure to be propagated to the copper port. The flexibility to adapt to different connectivity needs makes it an essential component of any network design.

Application

FCAT 01 rack is designed for demanding network environments with high density termination to provide high speed and reliable connects. FCA ú01 range of products can be typically used in a LAN, MAN or a Campus Network. The unique feature LFP (Link Fault Propagation) propagates the fiber link failure to the copper port thereby switching off the links of both the ports providing failover on a redundant path.
