Allied Telesis TAA 10/100TX POE+ TO 100FX/SC INDUSTRIAL TEMP FAST ETHERNET - AT-IMC200TP/SC-980

Allied Telesis AT-IMC200TP/SC-980 PoE+ to 100FX SC Industrial Media Converter

Overview

The AT-IMC200TP/SC-980 is a TAA-compliant Fast Ethernet media converter that bridges a 10/100BASE-TX PoE+ copper feed to a 100BASE-FX fiber run terminated with an SC connector. The industrial temperature rating makes it the right choice when the converter must live outside the conditioned equipment room — in a junction box, cabinet, or enclosure exposed to wide ambient swings. The copper side accepts PoE+ (802.3at), so a powered IP device — a camera, access reader, or wireless AP — can sit at the fiber endpoint without a separate power supply run, provided the connected device draws within the PoE+ budget. The AT-IMC200TP/SC-980 model suffix designates the -10°C to 75°C (or wider) industrial temperature variant; confirm the exact range against the Allied Telesis datasheet for your deployment before specifying.

Compatibility

The copper port is a standard 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 interface — compatible with any 802.3af/at PoE-sourcing switch or injector on the network side. The fiber port accepts 100BASE-FX SC multi-mode or single-mode fiber (verify wavelength and fiber type against the specific AT-IMC200TP/SC variant for your cable plant). On the powered-device side, any IEEE 802.3at-compliant PoE+ PD — including IP cameras, IP intercoms, and access control readers — can connect to the RJ-45 port. Integrators deploying Allied Telesis Allied Telesis networking infrastructure or any vendor's fiber media converters in security and access control edge runs will find this converter slots into standard SC-terminated fiber infrastructure without additional adapters. For PoE budget planning across multi-port deployments, review a PoE switch selection to ensure adequate per-port wattage headroom upstream.

Installation Notes

Verify the fiber patch type (multi-mode vs. single-mode) and wavelength match at both ends of the SC fiber run before deployment — mismatched fiber type is the most common commissioning error on 100FX links. Confirm ambient temperature at the install location falls within the rated industrial range. The -980 suffix indicates a specific hardware or regulatory configuration; cross-reference the Allied Telesis product selector or fiber media converter planning guide to confirm the correct variant for TAA-compliance requirements on government or federally-funded projects. Do not exceed the PoE+ power budget at the copper port — consult the datasheet for exact per-port wattage limits before connecting high-draw devices.
