Extended Ethernet Operation
Used as a pair, the AT-MC606 provides up to 100Mbps of data transfer over a Coax 50 or 75
ohm cable via a BNC connector. Standard Ethernet operation is preserved end to-end, retaining VLAN tags, and Ethernet MAC information across the link, while higher layer protocols are passed transparently. Cable length of up to 2km can be supported by the AT-MC606.

Standalone and Rack-mount
The AT-MC606 provider unit is available as a compact standalone unit for installation at the central office, or alternatively, it can be rackmounted in the standard AT-MCR12 chassis from Allied Telesis, capable of housing up to twelve units in one compact chassis with a redundant power supply, simplifying wiring and minimizing space requirements.

Plug and Play Operation
Simply connect to the RJ-45 Ethernet port and the unit will automatically auto-sense and configure for 10T or 10/100TX, as well as full or half-duplex Ethernet operation.

Applications
The AT-MC606 is a perfect fit for the IP surveillance market. Many already installed analog cameras use a coax cable to connect cameras back to the control center or encoder. (At the encoder, the analog signal is converted to digital for backhaul transmission.)
When these cameras need replacing – they are now increasingly being replaced by digital cameras. Digital cameras do not allow connectivity over coax cables, so either the camera and cable needs to be upgraded, or the existing cable can be used if an AT-MC606 is installed at either end of the cable, saving the cost of running all new cabling.
The AT-MC606 can also be used in legacy 10Base2 (ThinNet) style applications, only if two AT-MC606 devices are connected, and provided they are at the end of the cable runs.
