The MICROSENS 12 Port Ethernet Media Converter enables the direct repeaterless connection of twisted pair and fiber optical segments in an Ethernet network.

It is designed as 19“ unit with a mounting height of 1 HU. The converter is particularly useful for the economical conversion of numerous TP-ports to optical fiber. The flat design permits a high port density in a distribution rack.

The converter supports half as well as full duplex connec-tions. The Link status of the segment is transmited by the converter (‘Link-Through’), which means that in case of a link failure on the optical side no link on the twisted pair side is generated (and vice versa).

The converter is available both, with twelve RJ-45 jacks or one TELCO connector on the 10Base-T side. Multiple LEDs indicate the operating status of the con-verter and can be used for error diagnostics.
