The MCV-1000SCM02V2 media converters were specifically designed to offer network designers the tools for migration from copper based Gigabit to fiber based Gigabit Ethernet. Now, migration or expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum cost and complexity. The converters are completely transparent when installed so the network performs exactly the way it would do normally-only now, it can migrate both copper and fiber mediums.

This flexibility in cabling allows network managers to put fiber cables anywhere with in a network without changing the arrangement of copper based Gigabit segments. Their compact size allows the converter to be easily deployed in any narrow desktop location or used in wall-mount installation to save space. Several converters can be simultaneously installed by using the MCV-12Cv2 12-slot 19" rack-mount chassis, or MCV-4Cv2 4-slot rack-mount converter chassis.

The MCV-1000SCM02V2 takes advantage of Gigabit Ethernet technology, suitable for transmission applications of larger bandwidth like Video, Image, and Voice over IP.
