Overview

 The FMC-1800 is a 1U high 19" rack mountable device that features 18 completely independent and isolated Gigabit Ethernet fiber media converters concentrated into a single 1RU 'pizza box' unit.

The 18-channel managed Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter Rack, FMC-1800 converts Ethernet copper 100/1000Base-TX to SFPs working at 100Mbps or 1000Mbps. FMC-1800 can connect to any RJ-45 Ethernet switch and supports any third-party standard SFP module from any SFP vendor. With different kinds of fibre optic media, both multi-mode and single mode fibre are available as well as BiDi which allows bi-directional transmissions using only a single fibre to extend the distance of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks. With SNMP and Web-based management, the administrator can monitor, configure and control the activity of FMC-1800 remotely.

All settings of the media converters may be managed through any of the available management interfaces. A local serial COM port (via a convenient USB-C® connector) allows management from terminal emulation and an easy-to-use menu system.

With TCP/IP based network management, the FMC-1800 may be managed via Telnet (menu system), HTTP Web GUI, or SNMP. The SNMP agent is compliant with the SNMPv1/v2C standards.

The FMC-1800 allows up to four (4) SNMP managers to manage the device. Each entry must set a 'community string', the IP address of the manager and the permission of either read/write (get/set) or read only (get).

Resilience

The FMC-1800 may incorporate redundant power supplies in any combination of AC and DC. When the unit is ordered with two supplies, they provide power redundancy. The supplies, depending on the model, derive power from either an AC power source (100 ~ 240VAC) and/or DC power source (36-60VDC). The copper Ethernet and fiber SFP cages are all located on the front face, along with status indicator LEDs. The status LED indicators provide for quick indications of both copper and fiber link statuses and fault detection.
