Allied Telesis MMCR18 18-Slot 2U Rack-Mount Media Converter Chassis

Allied Telesis MMCR18 – centralise up to 18 media converters

The Allied Telesis MMCR18 suits network teams consolidating MMC series media converters in a standard 19-inch rack. Its 18-slot chassis distributes power across the installed converters, helping reduce separate power connections in the wiring area.

Key dimensions and capacity

Consolidate converters in one rack space

The MMCR18 holds up to 18 MMC series media converters in a single 2U chassis. This creates a more centralised rack installation than deploying each converter separately. Individual converters can also be removed and used independently when your network layout changes.

Choose a power arrangement to suit your setup

The chassis supports AC or DC power supplies and can use one or two PSUs. Using two provides a redundant power arrangement. An optional hot-swappable PSU is available to help avoid network downtime during a PSU replacement.

Its backplane distributes power across all 18 converter positions, whether you use one PSU or two. This can simplify power connections in a wiring closet.

Check status from the front panel

Six front-panel LEDs indicate power, temperature, fan and fault status. This gives network staff a convenient way to check key chassis conditions. The metal chassis is designed for rack mounting and weighs 4.3 kg.

Check your rack and converter requirements

• Confirm your rack accepts standard 19-inch equipment and has 2U of available space.
• Check that your converters are from the MMC series.
• Confirm whether your setup requires AC or DC power.
• Check whether you want one PSU or a two-PSU redundant arrangement.
