About Media Converters

The modular 

Media Converter Series

includes

modules that convert copper to single-mode,
multi-mode  or single-strand fiber at Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and mod-
ules that convert copper to thin coax at Ethernet
speeds.  Modules install in a variety of chassis.

Media Converter Chassis

Media  Converter  chassis

provide power to the media conversion modules.  

1-PPort

(LE7401A-R2) chassis include one media conversion module slot.

4-PPort

(LE7404A) chassis include four media conversion module slots.

8-PPort

(LE7408A) chassis is a 1U high rackmountable that includes eight

media conversion module slots. 
The 1, 4 and 8 slot chassis include a fixed 100/240 VAC power supply.

12-PPort

chassis is rackmountable and includes 12 media conversion module

slots and either a 100/240 VAC (LE74012A) or -48 VDC (LE74012A-DC)
power supply.  The 12-Slot chassis is 1U high and has the power on the rear
of the chassis with media conversion module slots on the front. 

10Mbps Media Conversion Modules

10Mbps Media Conversion Modules

provide a single conversion between

10Base-T twisted pair and either 10Base-FL fiber or 10Base-2 coax. Each module
requires one slot in a 

Media Converter

chassis.  The following versions are available:

LE740-TPSTM-R2
