Allied Telesis AT-IMC2000T/SP-980 – Industrial Gigabit SFP Media Co...
Overview
The Allied Telesis AT-IMC2000T/SP-980 is a TAA-compliant industrial-temperature gigabit media converter that bridges 10/100/1000BASE-T copper networks to 100X/1000X SFP fiber or copper connections. The -980 suffix designates extended industrial operating temperature support from -40°C to +75°C, making it suitable for harsh environments where standard commercial-grade equipment would fail. It accepts standard SFP modules, offering flexibility in fiber type and distance. DIN-rail and panel-mount options allow installation in control cabinets, outdoor enclosures, and factory automation environments.
Description
The AT-IMC2000T/SP-980 provides a hardened media conversion solution for environments that fall outside the operating range of commercial networking equipment. It converts between 10/100/1000BASE-T copper (RJ-45) and an SFP slot that accepts 100BASE-X or 1000BASE-X modules, giving network engineers the ability to select the appropriate fiber type — single-mode, multimode, or copper SFP — based on the distance and infrastructure requirements of the specific deployment.
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this unit eligible for use in U.S. federal government procurement projects and contracts subject to TAA requirements. The extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +75°C) ensures reliable operation in outdoor telecom cabinets, transportation hubs, industrial automation floors, utility substations, and similar locations where temperatures cannot be controlled. DIN-rail mounting support simplifies integration into standard industrial control panels, while optional panel-mount capability adds further installation flexibility. The AT-IMC2000T/SP-980 operates as a standalone converter and does not require management configuration for basic media conversion duties.
Key Features
- Industrial Temperature Rating (-980): Operates from -40°C to +75°C, suitable for outdoor enclosures, factory floors, and transportation environments.
- TAA Compliant: Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. federal and government procurement programs.
- SFP Slot Flexibility: Accepts 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-X SFP modules, allowing selection of fiber type and distance based on site requirements.
- 10/100/1000BASE-T Copper Port: Auto-negotiating RJ-45 interface connects to standard Ethernet switches, routers, or devices.
- DIN-Rail and Panel-Mount Support: Installs directly in industrial control cabinets using standard DIN-rail hardware.
- Standalone Operation: No management configuration required for basic media conversion; plug-and-play deployment.
Typical Applications
- Extending gigabit Ethernet from a control room to remote field devices in utility substations or oil and gas facilities using industrial-rated fiber runs.
- Connecting IP cameras, access control panels, or industrial PLCs in outdoor or temperature-extreme enclosures to a fiber backbone.
- U.S. federal agency deployments requiring TAA-compliant networking components in harsh or remote locations.
- Transportation infrastructure (rail, transit, highway) where equipment must endure wide ambient temperature swings.
- Factory automation environments where control cabinet mounting on DIN-rail is required and ambient temperatures exceed commercial equipment ratings.

FAQ
What SFP modules are compatible with the AT-IMC2000T/SP-980?
The unit accepts Allied Telesis-qualified 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-X SFP modules. Use Allied Telesis SFPs for guaranteed compatibility. Consult Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for SFP pairing recommendations.
What does the -980 suffix indicate?
The -980 suffix designates the industrial temperature variant, rated for operation from -40°C to +75°C, as opposed to the standard commercial temperature range.
Is this unit TAA compliant?
Yes. The AT-IMC2000T/SP-980 is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for U.S. federal and government procurement under GSA and similar contracts.
Does it support both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit on the SFP side?
Yes. The SFP slot supports both 100BASE-X (Fast Ethernet) and 1000BASE-X (Gigabit Ethernet) modules, providing flexibility to match the installed fiber infrastructure.
Can it be installed on a DIN-rail inside a control panel?
Yes. The AT-IMC2000T/SP-980 supports DIN-rail mounting for direct installation inside standard industrial control cabinets, as well as panel-mount options.
Is management software required?
No. The converter operates in standalone mode without any management configuration, making it suitable for locations where management access is not practical.
