Why Media Conversion? And with Transition’s state of the art design and built to perfection quality, you don’t need to jeopardize quality. In fact, you won’t find a family of products that offers more at a better price—backed with our "Ultimate Lifetime Warranty" in which the entire product is guaranteed for the lifetime of the network in which it’s installed—including the power supply and fan.
You’ve chosen to build your networks on switching and routing technology from today’s leading networking vendors— Cisco, Nortel, Marconi, HP, 3COM, Lucent, Extreme, Foundry…vendors who have built their reputations on performance and reliability. You’ve also thought about putting more fiber into your networks; but with fiber blades costing more than twice that of a copper port, you’ve held back. But you don’t have to weigh the reliability of the leading vendors and the futureproofing benefits of fiber against the cost—with media conversion you can have it all. Media conversion is a technology that allows the use of fiber WHERE and WHEN it is needed. Standardize on the features offered from your chosen hub, switch and router vendor and then team those with media conversion from Transition Networks. Our cost analysis shows you can save upwards of 40%.
That’s why, according to independent analyst reports, more Transition converters are used in today’s networks around the world—than any other brand. Ask us how we can save you money. Our team of conversion technology experts will review your network plans and suggest ways media conversion can help. SAVING MONEY with MEDIA CONVERSION… Gary Indiana public schools wanted to provide classroom to classroom connections for distance learning needs. They had been using expensive, traditional telecomoriented solutions, like T1 lines. Their reseller, JDL Technologies, recommended running these applications over the Internet using fiber. They needed to connect 2400 classrooms in 42 schools. By teaming Cisco 6000 switches with media conversion from Transition Networks, the school district saved 30% over the cost of buying dedicated fiber blades.

If someone tries to tell you that media conversion is a commodity product line that anyone can bring to market, they probably haven’t looked at the extensive suite of products available from Transition Networks or the advanced features offered by Transition Networks that are not available from any other vendor.
LANart Inside Select Transition Networks’ products now use LANart’s state of the art ASIC technology. These chips go beyond the functions provided by off-the-shelf silicon used by our competitors, to incorporate enhancements specific to media conversion technology; such as link fault propagation and indicators for power, data and link status.
AutoCross™ AutoCross technology eliminates an entire category of network troubleshooting by automatically matching crossed and uncrossed cables to the appropriate connection. The twisted pair port is instantaneously configured to the correct MDI or MDI-X configuration.
LinkAlert™ Because most Ethernet technologies are unable to recognize downlink faults, a failed link may appear normal to network management; requiring unnecessary time devoted to troubleshooting. LinkAlert monitors all physical uplink and downlink failures and enables all faults to be detected by network management.
N-Way Auto-Negotiation Only Transition Networks guarantees compatibility with any 10/100-compliant port. This feature allows you to force the proper port configuration through an external switch on the converter; unlike competitive products that ship in autonegotiation mode and may require both hardware and software configuration.
Broadest Range ■ Stand-Alone or Chassis-Based Form Factors ■ Unmanaged or Managed Functionality (with your choice of industry-standard management platforms) ■ The Broadest Range of Network Environments (In addition to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, the list includes ATM, ARCNet™, FDDI, IBM® 3270 and 5250, Token Ring, High Speed Token Ring and Gigabit, to name a few).
Platform Standardization Transition aims to provide a complete physical layer conversion platform. And with new conversion technology products being added regularly, your wiring infrastructure investment is protected as your network grows. Read on to find the exact product for your specific application.

Choosing a Platform to Fit Yo Our competitors will try to shoe-horn your requirements to fit their product range. Not so with Transition Networks. As the conversion technology experts, we know the requirements—and the concerns— and have developed the product range to fit your individual and unique requirements.
◗ Point System
"Media conversion introduces a black hole—an unmanaged point of failure." Not with Point System, the industry’s most flexible conversion platform. Teamed with Focal Point management software, you can ensure the connection is always "up.”
for more information see page 6
"My network is mission critical—media conversion isn’t reliable enough." Point System meets the requirements of today’s most demanding networks. It is fully NEBS compliant (certification pending) as well as certified for Class B residential applications.
◗ Conversion Center
"I don’t need NEBS, but I need a reliable system that’s compatible with today’s leading network management platforms." Transition’s original chassis platform, the Conversion Center, is a high-density, multi-protocol and multi-media converter mounting option. It can be fully integrated into an HP OpenView for HP UNIX, Sun Solaris, Windows NT, as well as Windows NT on IBM’s NetView management platform; and is the platform of choice for Hewlett Packard, Ericsson and Corning Cable.
"Media conversion is only available for Ethernet—my networks still have legacy environments like Token Ring and ARCNet." Transition’s Conversion Center offers the widest range of network protocol support in the industry. Twisted pair to fiber connectivity products are offered for: Ethernet & Fast Ethernet, ARCNet™, ATM, FDDI, IBM® 3270 and 5250, RS-232, RS-422/485, T1/E1, Token Ring and HSTR (High Speed Token Ring) as well as single mode to multimode fiber conversions for: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, ATM, Gigabit, OC-12, and Token Ring environments.

our Needs. ◗ Stand-Alone and Rack-Mounted Converters
"I’m not interested in a chassis platform—I’m looking to place stand-alone converters at the point of conversion." Each and every one of the converters available on the Conversion Center is available in a stand-alone form factor. If, at a later point, you’d like to mount these converters in a wiring closet, a 12-slot rack with a single universal power supply is also available. Or, mount single converters anywhere needed with our wall mount brackets.
◗ The Pocket: Desktop Media Converter Chassis
"Stand-Alone AND Slide-In-Cards — I can’t support all those SKUs. I need to standardize on a single form factor wherever in my network it’s used." With Transition’s Pocket Chassis it’s simple. Standardize on the slide-in-card and then you can install a single converter or up to 16 in the Conversion Center.
◗ Multi-port Units
"Port density is my requirement—neither stand-alone nor chassis platform is right for me." When you want to convert multiple twisted pair connections to fiber in either an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, Transition’s 6 or 12 fixed port configurations offer the highest density at the lowest cost.
◗ Just CONVERT-IT
"I don’t want to pay for all of these extras—I just want to convert copper to fiber." The Just CONVERT-IT platform is right for you. This low-cost, no-frills model offers the functionality you need with the added reliability of sourcing it from the industry leader.
