The IMC-782-SFP media converter connects a host/remote Ethernet network over a fiber optic or CAT5 copper connection. It combines 10/100/1000Mbps to Gigabit fiber media conversion with an advanced feature set including OAM (operation, administration and management), extra-tagging and Ethernet type control functionalities for network management and troubleshooting. Administrators can observe the end-points over the fiber segment between them as a single management entity. Bandwidth scalability and support for MIBs II makes this modular device a versatile Gigabit solution.
The software management software for IMC-780 series, iView2, allows users to perform remote configuration and alerts administrators to any potential problems on the ling-haul fiber run, providing vital information on link condition and reporting data traffic statistics.
