PERLE MCR200 Media Converter Chassis

The MCR200 Media Converter Chassis is a compact 2-slot chassis that provides housing for any combination of Perle Ethernet Copper Extender and Fiber Media Converter Modules. This mix and match flexibility enables the chassis to support a wide variety of network structures where, in low to mid-density applications, a limited number of copper extenders and/or fiber converters need to be quickly implemented. For a high density solution, please check out the MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis.

Two unmanaged media converter modules or Ethernet extenders can be installed in an MCR200 chassis. Sharing the same chassis power source, this cost effective solution eliminates the need for two power sources required by separate standalone media converters or Ethernet extenders.

When equipped with a managed media converter and MCR-MGT management module, the MCR200 2-slot Chassis provides a securely managed media converter solution for Enterprise and Service Provider networks. Perle supports all authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) security services used in corporate networks, including TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, Kerberos, NIS and RSA. To further protect ID’s and passwords from someone ‘snooping’ on the network, Perle Managed Media Converters provide secure management sessions by supporting SSH, SNMPv3, Telnet and HTTPS. And, advanced features enable users to optimize network traffic and resource allocation. Perle also offers a wide variety of Stand-alone Managed Media Converters with copper to fiber modules already integrated into the MCR200 Media Converter Chassis.

For those environments requiring a medium to large-scale deployment of media converters, a centralized platform that simplifies the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of this gear is recommended. PerleVIEW Device Management software is a multi-user, Windows server-based application that delivers this level of Enterprise-grade solution.

MCR200 Media Converter Chassis Features

2-slot chassis	Insert up to 2 copper or fiber modules into a single chassis. The modules share a common power source. A management module can also be installed with managed media converter modules.
Fan-less design	A high reliability design that does not require an internal fan
Hot-Swappable modules	Modules can be inserted and removed with no impact to the rest of the system. Upon insertion the module will automatically be powered up and begin functioning. Modules can be placed in any slot and in any order.
Rugged Chassis Design	Unified design between chassis slot and module faceplates provide additional chassis strength
	Redundant horizontal supports ensure that slot alignment remains accurate enabling easy card insertion and removals over time
	Advanced card guide design along with 32 pin DIN 41612 connectors offer better card mating accuracy for reliable module additions and changes
	Made with zinc coated cold-rolled steel offering excellent corrosion resistance
