• Operating temperature -10℃ to 60℃ (14°F~140°F)v

Rugged and Robust Design

Responding to the issues of consistent operation, the HMC-672E is built in a rugged and durable housing. Enclosed in IP30-grade casing, the media converter provides superior protection from severe temperatures extending from -10°C ~60°C. Capable of DIN-Rail mounting, the device is simple to install easy to fit in limited spaces. The HMC-672E also features a DC jack with a locking function to ensure continuous power connectivity.

Economic and Space-saving Design

Responding to the issues of design in mission-critical environments, the HMC-672E is designed in a space-saving, compact and slim housing. This standalone low-cost media converter provides transparent conversion at 1000Mbps without data stream interference and inexpensively connects both 10/100/1000Mbps copper port and Fast/Gigabit Ethernet SFP in a small enclosure. The compact size allows the converters to be wall-mounted to save space. The HMC-672E is extremely simple to install and operate, and thus saves you valuable time and money.

Fault-tolerant and User-friendly Monitoring

Network administrators can now easily monitor and troubleshoot issues associated with device functionality and link activity using the HMC-672E advanced features. LFS (Link Fault Signalling) feature on the device provides critical information about link status and enables you to easily detect optical signal strengths and faulty links on both copper and fiber ports, and significantly minimizes outage. And the LEDs on the HMC-672E convey essential diagnostic and status information of device power, link activity on ports, and allow you to easily monitor without having to get into tight spaces.

Easy Plug-and-play Operation

Being a compact, lightweight media converter, the HMC-672E is an easy-to-setup and ready-to-use solution for dispersed or emerging networks. Featuring Auto-MDI/MDIX and Auto-negotiation, the media converter automatically detects and configures the best mode of operation over a link. This eliminates the need for user setup or configuration procedures and simplifies installation. And once installed the media converter operates automatically. In addition, the Link Fault Signaling DIP switch on the HMC-672E provides the simplest and quickest way to enable or disable LFS (Link Fault Signaling) function on the device.
