AT-MC606 specifications

The Allied Telesis AT-MC606 is a fast Ethernet media converter designed to provide reliable connectivity and flexibility in a network environment. This device is ideal for those looking to extend their network reach without compromising performance. With its ability to convert between twisted pair cabling and fiber optics, the AT-MC606 supports the transition from copper to a fiber-based infrastructure, catering to a diverse range of networking needs.

One of the main features of the AT-MC606 is its ability to support 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, providing compatibility with both fast Ethernet and standard Ethernet networks. This versatility allows organizations to integrate the media converter seamlessly into existing networks, facilitating an easy migration path to faster connectivity options.

The device includes one 10/100Base-TX twisted pair port and one 100Base-FX fiber optic port, enabling network administrators to connect devices that may be located far apart, up to 2 kilometers with multimode fiber or up to 15 kilometers with singlemode fiber. This distance extends the reach of the network, making it particularly useful for enterprise applications, campus networks, and industrial settings.
