Allied Telesis UMC200/LC-901 Transceiver/Media Converter - 1 x LC Ports - USB - Multi-mode - Fast Ethernet - 100Base-FX - TAA Compliant AT-UMC200/LC-901

Allied Telesis UMC200 and UMC2000 USB media converters are the perfect fit for today''s USB-A technology, as well as for next-generation USB-C specifications. This allows the UMC200/2000 Series to take advantage of technology in both older and newer notebooks, desktop PCs and digital devices.OverviewThe current standard USB connector is USB Type-A. Even as the world has moved from USB 1 to USB 2 and on to modern USB 3 devices, that connector has stayed the same. Since it only plugs in one way, it has always been necessary to make sure it is correctly oriented before plugging in.However, with USB-C, both ends of the cable are the same, allowing for reversible plug orientation. It can also be plugged in upside down as it will function both ways.The time of differently-shaped connectors for differently-sized devices is coming to a close. USB Type-C is a new connector standard, and it is very small-about one third the size of the old USB Type-A plug.The UMC Series comes with two types of USB cables, allowing for use with older USB-A and the new USB-C products.Extended networkUMC Series converters are ideal for extending a fast Ethernet or Gigabit network. The series is designed to be a mobile system to extend the distance of a network by utilizing a USB-A or USB-C port with connectivity to fiberoptic cabling. The UMC Series features a USB port (Type A or C) and either a fixed fiber port (SC, ST or LC) or an SFP port which is capable of accepting a 100MB or 1000MB SFP.VLAN supportMany new backbone switch products now support the industry-standard IEEE 802.1Q specification for Virtual LANs (VLANs), which send extra-long data packets on the network.Some media converters don''t support this feature and discard extralong packets-but UMC200/2000 converters are fully compatible with these long packets, making them the perfect solution for today''s modern networks.Small and flexibleThe small size and external power of the UMC Series allows them to be used almost anywhere.
