The MCR200 Media Converter Chassis is a compact 2-slot chassis that provides housing for any combination of Perle copper to fiber, multimode to single mode or multimode to multimode 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 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 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.

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.
