Advantech 10/100/1000Mbps Miniature Media Converter

The IMC-370I series offers the most compact media converters. They can extend the 10/100/1000Mbps twisted-pair network segments up to 80km over fiber technology. Supporting both 10/100/1000 auto negotiation on the copper port and 1000Mbps full-duplex on the fiber port, the IMC-370I series serves as a media and data rate converter that has NEMA TS2 rating, making it ideal for use in traffic applications.

The IMC-370I series supports Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) functionality which can be enabled/disabled by a DIP switch on the unit. LFPT is a troubleshooting feature that combines TX LinkLoss (Twisted Pair, copper interface) and FX LinkLoss (Fiber, fiber interface) from both local and remote IMC Networks media converters, when used in pairs. This feature, when enabled, will pass a link fault through the device at each segment. If a link fails on one interface of the media converter, the media converter will force the link down on its link partner and then forward it to the next interface.

The IMC-370I supports plug-n-play functionality, auto negotiation, and AutoCross operation. It can be powered by AC/DC power, dual USB cable, or via installation in the centrally-powered media converter chassis.
