The CMX-1011R/1012R series of Managed media converters with Redundant connections are available with a variety of interfaces to provide 100 Mbs copper-to-fiber conversion. SNMP Management ready, CMX-1011R/1012R converters enable network managers to remotely monitor networked connections quickly and easily via the RJ-45 (in-band) or RS-232 (out-of-band) ports that are linked to the 'master' management application. Using single-mode or Extended Reach single-mode connectors, CMX-1011R/1012R converters can extend enterprise LAN management and configuration to a range of 60 km.  A failure at the primary port causes the data traffic to be internally routed to the secondary, redundant port - keeping critical data links up and running.  The CMX-1011R/1012R  family is designed to be 'plug-an-go', and for hassle-free integration into managed or unmanaged, multi-media networks.

Management and Fault Detection Capability - Full SNMP and Web Management, Loopback Test, Link Fault Signaling, among other features, make the CMX-1011R/1012R media converters a powerful addition to networks that require managed devices coupled with hassle-free deployments.  CMX-1011/1012 media converters take advantage of lower-cost, multi-mode and single-mode, fiber installations to deliver well Managed Ethernet/Fast Ethernet across the network.

Redundant Port Security - Parallel Fiber and UTP ports encourage the installation of redundant links between critical network devices.  CMX-1011R/1012R redundant port capability provides additional insurance that essential service are always online.

Cabling Flexibility – Compatible with multi-mode, single-mode, and long-haul single-mode fiber optic cabling, the CMX-1011R/1012R family is capable of supporting networking distances of up to 60 km and meet standard IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and 802.3u (Fast Ethernet) protocols.

Link Fault Signaling - The LFS LED will immediately become lit to indicate when a cable has been severed or some other cause of disruption in service has occurred.  Simultaneously, data transmission will be switched to the redundant link (path) resulting in 'non-stop' network connectivity.  Ideally suited for mission-critical applications such as networks running e-commerce applications.

Loopback Test - The Loopback Test is a key management and reliability feature of the CMX-1011R/1012R family; it provides an instant visual status of the entire cable path - from local connection to re-mote sites.

Simplified Troubleshooting - SNMP management and diagnostic LEDs minimize lost time spent by network administrators detecting and location the source of network problems formerly done by the visual inspection of cabling and equipment.

Easy Implementation - Integrated MDE/MDI-X auto-crossover and 10/100 auto-negotiation capabilities make the CMX-1011R/1012R series simple to deploy within a network.  Additionally, the CMX-1011R/1012R series slim housings are ideal for installation in locations with limited space.
