Allied Telesis TAA 1GB POE+ MEDIA CONVERTER LC CONNECT - AT-PC2000/LC-960

Allied Telesis AT-PC2000/LC-960 TAA-Compliant 1G PoE+ LC Fiber Media Converter

Overview

The AT-PC2000/LC-960 is a TAA-compliant Gigabit Ethernet media converter with LC fiber connectivity and PoE+ pass-through capability. It bridges copper-to-fiber infrastructure gaps on government and enterprise networks where Trade Agreements Act compliance is a procurement requirement. The AT-PC2000/LC-960 is the right pick when you need to extend a PoE+ powered device — IP cameras, access control readers, or VoIP endpoints — over a fiber run without introducing a separate power injection point at the far end. For fiber media converters in security and enterprise environments, this form factor eliminates the need to run copper beyond its 100m limit while keeping powered-device wiring simple. Visit the Allied Telesis networking line for compatible switches, SFPs, and infrastructure accessories.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Allied Telesis PoE+ infrastructure including the AT-PC2000 media converter chassis and compatible LC-duplex fiber patch environments. The LC connector interfaces with standard single-mode or multimode fiber depending on the paired SFP or fixed-optic configuration selected. PoE+ delivery (IEEE 802.3at) supports downstream powered devices drawing up to 30W — covering the majority of IP cameras, 802.11ac/ax wireless access points, and access control panels on a standard deployment. Pair with a PoE-capable network switch on the copper uplink side to avoid the need for a separate midspan injector. Verify fiber strand count and connector polish type (UPC vs. APC) with your existing plant before ordering — LC connectors are not universal across polish types and mismatches cause high insertion loss.

Installation Notes

Confirm TAA compliance is required at the project level before specifying — TAA applies to US federal procurement under GSA schedules and certain state/local contracts, but adds no functional difference for commercial deployments. Fiber jumper length and insertion loss budget should be calculated against the transceiver's supported distance before installation. PoE+ budget on the upstream switch port must account for the full 30W at-port delivery plus switch-side overhead; consult your network infrastructure switch specs for per-port power budgets.
