The IMC-450 and 470 series are standalone media converters that make the connection between copper and fiber cables. It can be installed anywhere a network connection is required. In addition, these media converters feature in automatic link restoration.
They also increase the scalability of a network by providing rate conversion, distance extension and multiple types of fixed fiber connectors or open slots for small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connection. The IMC-450 and 470 support troubleshooting features such as LinkLoss and Fiber Alert which can be enabled/disabled by DIP switches. The diagnostic features allow the network administrator to quickly identify network faults.
The IMC-470 series provides two 10/100/1000Mbps copper UTP ports and one fiber port that is available in an SFP form factor, as well as for fixed-fiber in single-mode and multi-mode. The Link Fault Pass Through functionality allows network operators to determine a fault condition on the interfaces.
