Allied Telesis AT-MMC2000I/SP-960 Industrial-Temp Gigabit SFP Media Converter
Overview
The AT-MMC2000I/SP-960 is a TAA-compliant, industrial-temperature media converter from Allied Telesis that bridges 10/100/1000BASE-T copper infrastructure to 100/1000BASE-X fiber via an open SFP slot. If you're extending network connectivity across a campus or facility where copper runs hit their distance ceiling — or where you need to cross electrical noise boundaries between buildings — this converter handles the copper-to-fiber hand-off without a dedicated switch port. The 'I-TEMP' designation in Allied Telesis's naming convention indicates an extended operating temperature range suited for environments outside the standard 0–50°C commercial window, making it a candidate for installations in industrial enclosures, transportation infrastructure, or outdoor equipment cabinets. The TAA compliance designation makes the AT-MMC2000I/SP-960 eligible for U.S. federal and SLED procurement where Buy American and Trade Agreements Act requirements apply — a procurement gate that eliminates many competing units. The open SFP slot accepts Allied Telesis SFP transceivers matched to your fiber type and distance requirement: single-mode for long-haul runs, multimode for intra-building links, or BiDi SFPs where you want to conserve fiber strand count. Pair with an appropriate SFP transceiver selected for your fiber plant — the converter itself is fiber-agnostic at the hardware level. This unit fits within the broader Allied Telesis media converter and networking line, which supports chassis-based and standalone deployment modes. For projects requiring multiple conversion points in a single rack unit, Allied Telesis's chassis-based media converter systems accept this card family.

Compatibility
The AT-MMC2000I/SP-960 accepts Allied Telesis SFP modules supporting 100BASE or 1000BASE-X fiber interfaces. The copper port auto-negotiates 10/100/1000BASE-T with standard RJ-45 patch cables. Confirm SFP module compatibility against Allied Telesis's transceiver compatibility matrix for this converter series before ordering — not all third-party SFPs are validated for use in Allied Telesis equipment. This unit carries the multi-region (-960) suffix, indicating it ships with power and regulatory clearances for use across multiple geographies rather than a single-country variant.
