Allied Telesyn Multi-Channel Media Converters Make the Move to Fiber Easier with Cost-Effective Large Scale Conversion.SUNNYVALE Sunnyvale, city (1990 pop. 117,229), Santa Clara co., W Calif., near San Francisco; settled 1849, inc. 1912. A city in Silicon Valley, its many manufactures include semiconductors; machinery and instruments; electrical, electronic, and aerospace products; , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 1999-- World leader in media conversion and fiber optic networking offers new rackmountable multi-channel See multichannel. media converters A device that converts from one type of media to another. It typically refers to a hardware device that connects different transmission media; for example, from twisted pair to coax or from twisted pair to optical fiber. with multiple connector and transmission options Allied Telesyn International (www.alliedtelesyn.com), a worldwide leader in simplifying networking for businesses of all sizes, Monday Monday: see week. announced a new line of multi-channel media converters that make copper to fiber conversion easy and cost-effective cost-effective, n the minimal expenditure of dollars, time, and other elements necessary to achieve the health care result deemed necessary and appropriate. for medium to large Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer and Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. networks. In six and 12 port versions, the new single unit high 19-inch rackmountable multi-channel media converters feature multiple pairs of ports, with each pair functioning as an independent channel. Multi-channel converters are a highly cost-effective solution to high-density high-den·si·ty adj. Having a high concentration: high-density urban areas. conversion requirements where rackmount chassis Pronounced "chah-see," it is a physical structure that holds everything or that everything is attached to. A computer's cabinet is often called the chassis. space is limited and, with optional management, keeping track of conversion connections is easy. "When it comes to converting multiple ports of the same media type to another, multi-channel converters offer the best price/performance solution," said Sean Keohane, senior vice president, sales and marketing for Allied Telesyn International. "Although true flexibility with media type can only be obtained using individual single-channel Adj. 1. single-channel - designating sound transmission or recording or reproduction over a single channel mono, monophonic electronics - the branch of physics that deals with the emission and effects of electrons and with the use of electronic devices converters, significant cost benefits can be achieved with a multi-channel device when a high number of ports are all being converted in the same way. "Our new multi-channel media converter family, with its 20 different versions, is the ideal solution for large network optimization optimization Field of applied mathematics whose principles and methods are used to solve quantitative problems in disciplines including physics, biology, engineering, and economics. projects, making it easier for network managers to integrate the best of today's technology into their networks intelligently and economically." The AT-MCF10 and AT-MCF100 series of multi-channel media converters are a logical extension to Allied Telesyn's single-channel conversion leadership. With a variety of port densities and fiber connector types as well as support for single- and multi-mode data transmission, Allied Telesyn media converters offer highly flexible media conversion capability at an affordable price. Each multi-channel converter (1) A device that changes one set of codes, modes, sequences or frequencies to a different set. See A/D converter. (2) A device that changes current from 60Hz to 50Hz and vice versa. has a fiber test switch for on-the-spot Adj. 1. on-the-spot - at the scene of action; "an on-the-spot reporter"; "on-the-spot inspections"; "an on-the scene newscast" on-the-scene on-site - taking place or located at the site; "on-site inspection" checks of the fiber connection from a standalone stand·a·lone adj. Self-contained and usually independently operating: a standalone computer terminal. device or between two devices in back-to-back applications, and the MissingLink management tool for simple trouble-shooting capability. Available in unmanaged and managed versions, the optional SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. and web-based management capabilities allows users to monitor and administer network devices from any location quickly and effectively. A management module is available for making field upgrades to unmanaged versions. Priced and configured con·fig·ure tr.v. con·fig·ured, con·fig·ur·ing, con·fig·ures To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses: to be the best overall value on the market, the AT-MCF10 and AT-MCF100 series come in multiple configurations to accommodate the reality of evolving networks, and are backed by a 5-year warranty and Allied Telesyn's free, unlimited technical support. Allied Telesyn's new multi-channel media converters will begin shipping in October 1999. -0- Six-port multi-channel Ethernet media converters Features AT-MCF06ST AT-MCF06SC AT-MCF06VF AT-MCF06SM UTP ports 6 6 6 6 Fiber ports 6 6 6 6 Fiber connector type ST SC VF-45 ST Fiber type Multi-mode Multi-mode Multi-mode Single-mode Max. cable distance 2,000m 2,000m 2,000m 15,000m US List Price $1,135 $1,135 $1,135 $3,460 Features AT-MCF06SM UTP ports 6 Fiber ports 6 Fiber connector type ST Fiber type Single-mode Max. cable distance 15,000m US List Price $3,460 12-port multi-channel Ethernet media converters Features AT-MCF12ST AT-MCF12SC AT-MCF12VF AT-MCF12SM UTP ports 12 12 12 12 Fiber ports 12 12 12 12 Fiber connector type ST SC VF-45 ST Fiber type Multi-mode Multi-mode Multi-mode Single-mode Max. cable distance 2,000m 2,000m 2,000m 15,000m US List Price $2,059 $2,059 $2,059 $6,449 Features AT-MCF12SM UTP ports 12 Fiber ports 12 Fiber connector type ST Fiber type Single-mode Max. cable distance 15,000m US List Price $6,449 Six-port multi-channel Fast Ethernet media converters Features AT-MCF106ST AT-MCF106SC AT-MCF106MT UTP ports 6 6 6 Fiber ports 6 6 6 Fiber connector ST SC MT-RJ Fiber type Multi-mode Multi-mode Multi-mode Max. cable distance 2,000m 2,000m 2,000m US List Price $2,115 $2,115 $2,115 Features AT-MCF106VF AT-MCF106SM AT-MCF106LH UTP ports 6 6 6 Fiber ports 6 6 6 Fiber connector VF-46 ST SC Fiber type Multi-mode Single-mode Single-mode Max. cable distance 2,000m 15,000m 40,000m US List Price $2,115 $6,685 $7,425 12-port multi-channel Fast Ethernet media converters Features AT-MCF112ST AT-MCF112SC AT-MCF112MT UTP ports 12 12 12 Fiber ports 12 12 12 Fiber connector ST SC MT-RJ Fiber type Multi-mode Multi-mode Multi-mode Max. cable distance 2,000m 2,000m 2,000m US List Price $3,799 $3,799 $3,799 Features AT-MCF112VF AT-MCF112SM AT-MCF112LH UTP ports 12 12 12 Fiber ports 12 12 12 Fiber connector VF-45 ST SC Fiber type Multi-mode Single-mode Single-mode Max. cable distance 2,000m 15,000m 40,000m US List Price $3,799 $12,815 $14,365 Multi-channel media converter options Management Module AT-MCM01 $415 Optional Redundant power supply AT-PWR5 $228 About Allied Telesyn International Allied Telesyn International simply connects the world with affordable, highly reliable networking technology and products.
