More interface choices than any other modular media converter. Modular construction for quick additions and changes. Optional SNMP management. Supports ATM, Token Ring, and other networks. Easily rackmountable for space-saving installations. Optional redundant power supply for extra reliability. Key Features T his is a modular media converter system that gives you maximum cabling versatility. The Media Conversion Center from Black Box is a mountable, manageable, high-density, multiprotocol and multimedia converter. Use a variety of interfaces— Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Token Ring—in one converter chassis. And with room for up to 16 modules, one SNMP module (for SNMP management), and a redundant power supply, you’re not wasting space in your wiring center. Rackmount ears are shipped with the chassis. Because the modules are hot- swappable, you have virtually zero downtime. The optional redundant power supply is hot-swappable, too, so your system will always stay up and running. But the SNMP management is what truly makes this Media Conversion Center one of a kind. The graphical user interface lets you identify each module from any remote location. Port or wiring failures, or other problems, can be quickly detected and repaired. The chassis The Media Conversion Center chassis has 16 slots on its front for the modules and three slots in the rear for installing the management module and power supply modules (one for primary power and one for redundant power). The chassis’ front panel has power and “in-use” indicators for each power supply. The power LED informs you if the supply is powered and operational, whereas the ”in-use” LEDs indicate which supply is currently providing power to the chassis. The chassis also has power, link, TX, and RX indicators for the management module. The modules To install a module in the chassis, simply remove the protective plate from the selected installation slot. Slide the module in so it’s aligned with the slot guides and seated firmly against the chassis backplane. Tighten the module’s installation screw. The modules connect to the chassis ground before connecting to the power source. This setup prevents the modules from damage caused by an improper installation and allows for true hot- swap capability. Now, let‘s look at the modules: The 10BASE-T to 10BASE-FL Media Conversion Center Modules convert twisted-pair 10BASE-T to fiber optic 10BASE-FL, or vice versa, for mixed cabling applications. Use the module’s RJ-45 connector to
