Overview

The CV10x series Ethernet media converters include the following models:

AT-CV101

AT-CV102

AT-CV102/1

AT-CV102/2

The CV10x series Ethernet media converter line cards are designed to extend the distance of your network by interconnecting LAN devices that are physically separated by large distances. The range of line cards support both multi-mode and single-mode fiber pairs, at distances up to 40km. Compliant with IEEE standards, these converters will inter-operate with other standards-based media converters, switches, fiber interface cards, etc over the fiber optic cable.

Extend the Distance of Ethernet

Each CV10x series media converter line card features a 100TX twisted pair port and a 100FX optical port. The twisted pair port has an RJ-45 connector and a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet). Depending on the model, the media converter card can operate in multi-mode or single-mode fiber over various distances up to 40km.These cards can operate at half and full-duplex.

The AT-CV101 fiber optic port has a multi-mode fiber ST connector and a maximum operating distance of 2km (1.24 miles).

The AT-CV102 fiber optic port has a multi-mode fiber SC connector and a maximum operating distance of 2km (1.24 miles).

The AT-CV102/1 fiber optic port has a single- mode fiber SC connector and a maximum operating distance of 15km (9.32 miles).

The AT-CV102/2 fiber optic port has a single- mode fiber SC connector and a maximum operating distance of 40km (24.85 miles).

Flexible Deployment

The CV10x series of line cards can be installed in the complete range of Converteon chassis’, allowing them to be deployed in a stand-alone fashion (AT-CV1000), or in a multi-slot chassis (AT-CV5000). When deployed in a multi-slot chassis, the line cards can be unmanaged, or managed with the inclusion of at least one management card in the chassis. In unmanaged mode, the line cards can be easily configured using DIP switches, whereas in a managed chassis, all the configuration can be performed remotely.

Whatever the chassis, the line cards can be hot swapped providing the network manager with a mechanism to simply perform moves/adds/ changes without having to power down other parts of the network.

MissingLinkTM and Smart MissingLinkTM (SML)

The MissingLink (ML) feature allows the ports on the media converter blade to pass the ‘Link’ status of their connections to each other. When the media converter detects a problem with one of the ports, such as the loss of connection to a node, it shuts down the connection to the other port, thus notifying the node that the connection has been lost. Smart MissingLink (SML)

is when a link is lost on a port, the Link LED of the port which still has a valid connection to its end node starts to blink.These features allow network administrators to quickly troubleshoot network problems.

AT-CV10x Series specifications

The Allied Telesis AT-CV10x Series is a revolutionary line of network switches designed for small to medium-sized businesses. These switches provide a robust and reliable networking solution equipped with advanced features that facilitate efficient network management and high-performance data transmission.

At the heart of the AT-CV10x Series is its ability to support both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality. This versatility allows businesses to implement routing capabilities alongside traditional switching functions, enabling enhanced network design that can scale as business needs evolve. With support for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the AT-CV10x Series ensures that enterprises can accommodate high-bandwidth applications and services seamlessly.

The series features Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing network administrators to connect devices such as IP cameras, phones, and access points without needing separate power supplies. This capability simplifies installation procedures and reduces clutter, making the management of physical network environments more straightforward.

In terms of reliability, the AT-CV10x Series incorporates features such as Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). These technologies enhance network resiliency and facilitate redundancy, enabling seamless failover and load balancing. Coupled with built-in quality of service (QoS) capabilities, the series prioritizes critical network traffic, which is essential for enterprises relying on real-time applications like voice and video.

Security is paramount, and the AT-CV10x Series does not disappoint. The switches include advanced security measures such as 802.1X port-based authentication and VLAN support to segment network traffic and protect sensitive data. This layered security approach ensures that organizations can safeguard their networks from unauthorized access and potential breaches.

Allied Telesis also emphasizes ease of management with the AT-CV10x Series. The switches come equipped with a user-friendly web-based interface and support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), enabling IT teams to monitor and manage network performance efficiently. This capability significantly reduces the complexity of network management and allows for quick troubleshooting and optimization.

In conclusion, the Allied Telesis AT-CV10x Series represents a powerful combination of flexibility, reliability, and security. With its advanced features and scalable options, this series is an ideal choice for businesses aiming to build a future-proof networking infrastructure that can grow alongside their evolving needs. Whether enhancing existing networks or deploying new ones, the AT-CV10x Series stands out as a compelling solution in the competitive network management landscape.
