Allied Telesis TAA 10/100/1000T TO 100/1000X/SFP MEDIA & RATE CONVERTER - AT-MMC2000/SP-960

Allied Telesis AT-MMC2000/SP-960 Gigabit Copper-to-SFP Media and Rate Converter

Overview

The AT-MMC2000/SP-960 is a TAA-compliant, multi-region media and rate converter that bridges 10/100/1000BASE-T copper infrastructure to 100/1000BASE-X fiber or SFP-based uplinks — without replacing existing switches or pulling new copper runs. This unit fits government, federal, and TAA-restricted enterprise deployments where procurement compliance is a hard requirement alongside the need to extend network segments over fiber. The SFP slot accepts customer-supplied fiber modules, giving you control over distance and wavelength rather than locking you into a fixed transceiver.

Compatibility

The AT-MMC2000/SP-960 is designed for use within the Allied Telesis MMC2000 media converter chassis and standalone applications. The open SFP socket accepts industry-standard 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X SFP transceivers — verify transceiver compatibility against the Allied Telesis qualified SFP list before sourcing. The RJ-45 copper port auto-negotiates 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, making it compatible with any standards-compliant Ethernet switch, NIC, or PoE injector on the copper side. The rate-conversion capability means the fiber and copper sides do not need to run at matching speeds, which is the practical value when connecting legacy 100Mbps edge devices to a Gigabit backbone.

Installation Notes

The '/SP' designation in the part number indicates the unit ships without an SFP transceiver installed — source and install the appropriate SFP module for your fiber plant (single-mode vs. multimode, distance, duplex) before deployment. The '-960' suffix denotes the multi-region power configuration; confirm local power standards are within the supported input range before ordering. Slot into a compatible Allied Telesis chassis or deploy standalone per the chassis installation guide. No additional tools are required beyond a standard SFP-insertion procedure.
