Transition Networks E-MCC-1600 16-Slot Media Conversion Center Chassis with AC Power Supply

Transition Networks' Conversion Center is a high-density, multi-protocol and multi-media converter mounting option. The Conversion Center has the ability to house up to 16 Transition Networks' Slide-in-Module Media Converters, in any configuration of protocols and in a wide variety of platforms. This flexibility, along with hot-swappable, redundant power, makes the Conversion Center the most reliable, cost-effective solution for many media interface problems. This is a 16-slot chassis with 48-volt power supply.

The Media Converter operates under heavy traffic loads without excess heat so there is no need for a failure-prone internal fan. It automatically detects and reports loss of link on a connection using Link Pass Through. This feature allows the equipment at the remote end of a link failure to "see" this failure and respond with corrective actions, such as Spanning Tree fail-over links, proprietary trunking links, or failure reports through SNMP or RMON procedures built into the switch, router or hub. The Media Converter also automatically detects faults in a link using Far End Fault. This feature of the Fast Ethernet Fiber standard allows you to troubleshoot a fault, even if it is only in one direction; alerting the device on the same side as the failure.
