Allied Telesis TAA 2 X 10/100/1000T POE+ TO 100X/1000X SFP INDUSTRIAL - AT-IMC2000TP2/SP-980

Allied Telesis AT-IMC2000TP2/SP-980 Industrial PoE+ Gigabit Media Converter

Overview

The AT-IMC2000TP2/SP-980 is a TAA-compliant industrial gigabit media converter from Allied Telesis, designed to bridge 10/100/1000T PoE+ copper connections to 100X/1000X SFP fiber uplinks. This type of converter fits deployments where powered edge devices — IP cameras, access control readers, VoIP endpoints — need to extend beyond the 100-meter copper limit without losing PoE budget, running fiber to the distribution layer while keeping standard 802.3at PoE+ delivery on the copper port. The TAA compliance designation makes the AT-IMC2000TP2/SP-980 suitable for U.S. federal procurement and government facility deployments where Trade Agreements Act sourcing is a contract requirement. The industrial-grade form factor is built for environments where commercial switches are inadequate — think manufacturing floors, transportation infrastructure, or outdoor enclosures where temperature swings and electrical noise are routine.

Compatibility

The copper port supports 10/100/1000BASE-T with PoE+ (802.3at), compatible with any standard PoE+ powered device drawing up to the 802.3at class maximum. The SFP slot accepts Allied Telesis SFP transceivers supporting 100BASE-X or 1000BASE-X fiber interfaces — consult the Allied Telesis SFP compatibility matrix for validated optics before ordering third-party modules, as industrial-grade converters frequently enforce vendor-specific transceiver qualification. This unit is part of the Allied Telesis IMC2000 media converter family and is designed for use within Allied Telesis chassis-based or standalone industrial converter deployments.

Installation Notes

Verify the upstream switch or injector delivers 802.3at PoE+ budget sufficient for the connected device — the converter passes PoE through to the copper port, so power allocation planning at the switch level is required. Confirm SFP transceiver wavelength and fiber type (single-mode vs. multimode) match the far-end uplink port before commissioning. TAA compliance must be documented at the procurement stage for government bids; retain the product receipt and part number AT-IMC2000TP2/SP-980 for contract records.
