Allied Telesis AT-MMC6005-60 5-Slot Media Converter Chassis

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-MMC6005-60 is a 6-slot media converter chassis that centralizes fiber-to-copper media conversion in rack-mounted installations. This chassis accepts up to six hot-swappable Allied Telesis media converter blade modules, allowing network administrators to consolidate multiple standalone converters into a single, managed 1U unit. An internal universal power supply (PSU) is included, delivering clean, consistent power to all installed modules without external power bricks. The modular chassis-based architecture reduces cable clutter and simplifies management across enterprise wiring closets and data center deployments.

Product Description

The Allied Telesis AT-MMC6005-60 media converter chassis provides a structured, rack-mounted housing for up to six Allied Telesis MMC-series blade modules, enabling centralized fiber media conversion at scale. The chassis itself does not provide any fiber or copper ports — all network connectivity comes from the installed blade modules, giving you full flexibility to mix 100Base-FX and Gigabit Ethernet converter modules in a single unit. The included internal universal PSU supports a wide AC input voltage range, making this chassis suitable for diverse facility power environments without adapter complexity. Hot-swap capability means individual modules can be inserted or removed without powering down the chassis or interrupting other active converter connections — a critical capability in high-availability environments where planned maintenance windows are limited. Compatible modules cover a broad range of media conversions including SC, LC, and ST fiber variants at both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The compact rack footprint consolidates what would otherwise require six individual desktop-style converters with their own power adapters into a single organized unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the AT-MMC6005-60 include media converter modules?

No. The AT-MMC6005-60 is the chassis with internal power supply only. Media converter blade modules must be purchased separately and installed into the six available slots.

Q: What modules are compatible with the MMC6005 chassis?

The MMC6005 accepts Allied Telesis MMC-series blade modules covering 100Base-FX (SC, LC, ST) and Gigabit Ethernet fiber media conversions. Consult the Allied Telesis compatibility guide for the full module list.

Q: Can I replace a module without shutting down the chassis?

Yes. The AT-MMC6005-60 supports hot-swap module replacement, allowing individual blade modules to be inserted or removed without powering down the chassis or disrupting other installed modules.

Q: How many rack units does the AT-MMC6005-60 occupy?

The AT-MMC6005-60 is designed for standard 19-inch rack installation. Refer to the Allied Telesis datasheet for exact U-height dimensions.

Q: Is a redundant power supply available?

The AT-MMC6005-60 includes one internal universal PSU. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for information on redundant power options within the Allied Telesis MMC chassis product line.

Q: Can I mix different module types in the same chassis?

Yes. Each slot operates independently, so you can install a mix of 100Base-FX SC, LC, ST, and Gigabit Ethernet modules in the same AT-MMC6005-60 chassis simultaneously.
