Allied Telesis AT-MMC200LX/SC-960 10/100TX to 100LX SC Single-Mode Mini Media Converter
Overview
The AT-MMC200LX/SC-960 is a TAA-compliant mini media and rate converter that bridges 10/100Base-TX copper networks to 100Base-LX single-mode fiber over SC connectors, supporting spans up to 20km. This is the converter to reach when you need to extend an IP security camera, access control node, or other 10/100 edge device across a campus or inter-building run that exceeds the 100m copper limit — without deploying a full managed switch at the far end. The rate-conversion capability means copper-side devices do not need to match fiber-side speeds, which simplifies integration into mixed-speed infrastructure. TAA compliance makes the AT-MMC200LX/SC-960 eligible for U.S. federal procurement and government-funded projects requiring Trade Agreements Act conformance.
Compatibility
Designed for use within the Allied Telesis iMC and AT-MMC mini media converter ecosystem. The SC fiber interface pairs with standard 100Base-LX single-mode fiber plant terminated in SC connectors — confirm your fiber patch panels and SFP uplinks are SC-keyed before ordering. The copper RJ-45 side accepts any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX device, including IP cameras, VoIP endpoints, access readers, and PoE injectors upstream. Not compatible with multi-mode fiber runs or ST/LC-terminated fiber without an adapter. Verify your single-mode fiber distance does not exceed 20km link budget, accounting for connector loss and splice points.
Installation Notes
The 'SC-960' suffix denotes the 960nm wavelength variant — confirm your fiber infrastructure and far-end SFP or converter use a matching wavelength to avoid link failure. Install in a protected enclosure or wiring closet; no environmental ingress rating is specified for this unit, so outdoor or wet-location mounting requires an appropriate NEMA-rated enclosure. Power requirements follow standard AT-MMC series conventions — confirm chassis or standalone power supply compatibility before commissioning.
