Allied Telesis IMC200TP/SC Transceiver/Media Converter

The Allied Telesis IMC200TP/SC Transceiver/Media Converter is engineered to power remote devices with rugged reliability, turning your industrial network into a seamless, far-reaching PoE solution. Designed for the 200/2000 Series Industrial Media Converters, these units bring power to IP phones, video cameras, and wireless access points (APs) that sit more than 100 meters away from a PoE switch. With a generous PoE budget of up to 60W per IMC, organizations can deploy media converters closer to the devices they need to energize, reducing cable runs, simplifying installations, and ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.

• Powerful PoE budget: Each IMC200TP/SC delivers up to 60W of PoE power, enabling high-demand devices such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless APs to operate reliably without a nearby PoE switch.
• Extended reach for remote devices: Designed to energize devices located well beyond standard PoE reach, helping you deploy networks across large facilities, campuses, warehouses, or outdoor deployments with confidence that performance won’t degrade with distance.
• Industrial-grade resilience: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, these IMCs offer robust construction and dependable operation in temperature fluctuations, dust, vibration, and other challenging conditions found in field deployments.
• Versatile connectivity (TP and SC): The IMC200TP/SC provides flexible connectivity options, combining copper Twisted Pair Ethernet for PoE delivery with a fiber SC interface for uplinks, enabling scalable and resilient network designs.
• Easy integration with Allied Telesis ecosystems: As part of the 200/2000 Series Industrial Media Converters, these transceivers/media converters integrate smoothly with existing IMC deployments for straightforward management and maintenance.

how to install Allied Telesis IMC200TP/SC Transceiver/Media Converter

• Plan the installation path by identifying the remote device to be powered and the uplink to the main network. Ensure the IMC is placed in a protected area that suits industrial environments and allows quiet cooling and accessibility for maintenance.
• Mount or rack the IMC securely and connect the power supply. Verify that the operating environment meets the device’s temperature and ventilation requirements, and route cabling to minimize bending and interference.
• Connect the remote device to the TP Ethernet port using quality CAT5e/CAT6 cables. Ensure proper PoE wiring and cable integrity to maximize power delivery and data performance.
• Attach the fiber SC uplink to the corresponding switch or media converter in your network. Confirm correct fiber type and connector alignment, and use appropriate protective measures to avoid stress on the fiber link.
• Power up the unit and verify operation: check PoE activity on the LED indicators, confirm link status on the copper and fiber ports, and test the remote device (voice handset, camera, or AP) to ensure it receives both power and data as expected. Document the setup for future maintenance.
