solution offered by GE Multilin, is focused on providing easier, more economical and extra-
reliable industrial application products. The compact designed Multilink MC-E10 & Multilink
MC-E100 Series act as a very useful tool in the modern life of fast expanding network
requirements. The Dual-Speed and Dual-media functions support a mixed environment of
10 Mbps and 100Mbps users with copper and fiber media. The switching full / half duplex
capability on fiber ports provides high bandwidth seamless performance. The up-link of
choice of 10 or 100Mb on fiber Port #1 enables easy expansion, longer distance coverage
and secure networking for the on-going demand of Ethernet networks.
Example 1.
In this example, the Multilink MC-E10 & Multilink MC-E100 Series Converters are being
deployed together to serve a secured corporate office, spread out in miles with multi-
servers, print server, internet access and mixed-speed requirements, but distance and
security is the major issue to resolve, since each of the video surveillance camera is
located more than 100m at the far end to secure the office. The users operate at 100Mb as
well as at 10 Mb, and utility devices (such as print servers) run at 10 Mbps. High
performance users need a high bandwidth up-link for access to a central LAN and central
file servers. Any attached node can change speed at any time without affecting network
operation or impacting other users. The multi-functional Multilink MC-E10 & Multilink MC-
E100 Series Converters provide this solution very efficiently and economically. Various
features included 10 or 100Mb of fiber flavor option, MDIX, plug-n-play, Din-Rail mountings
and dual LEDs, rack-mounting option through MC-Tray make this compact Converter a
very effective solution for this requirement.
