The IMC-450 and 470 series are standalone media converters with an optional internal power security device that makes the connection between copper and fiber cables. They can be installed anywhere a network connection is required. In addition, these media converters feature automatic link restoration. They increase the scalability of a network by providing rate conversion, distance extension, and multiple types of fixed fiber connectors or open slots for small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connections. The IMC-450 series provides one 10/100Mbps copper UTP port and one fiber port. The IMC-470 series provides two 10/100/1000Mbps copper UTP ports and one fiber port. They are available in an SFP form factor, as well as for fixed-fiber in single-mode and multi-mode. Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) functionality allows network operators to determine a fault condition on the interface. LFPT can be enabled vis a dip switch on the front of the unit.
