About the Modular Media Converters & Chassis
The Modular Media Converter Series includes modules that convert copper to single-
mode or multi-mode fiber at Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit speeds. All Modules
are unmanaged media converters, to allow simple installation.
Modular Media Converter series chassis provide power to media converter modules,
and are available with one, four, eight or twelve slots for installing any combination of
McPIMs (10Mbps Ethernet), McLIMs (100 Mbps Fast Ethernet), McLIM TP-TX/FX
(Switching 10/100 Mbps) and McGigabit modules (1.25 Gbps Ethernet). All chassis
include internal AC power, and a country-specific power cord is included with each
chassis.

About McPIMs
McPIMs (Media Converter Port Interface Modules) are 10 Mbps Ethernet modules
which provide a single-conversion between 10Base-T twisted pair and 10Base-FL single-
mode or multi-mode fiber. McPIMs include one RJ-45 connector and one pair of ST or
SC fiber optic connectors. Each McPIM requires one slot in a media converter chassis.
