Network Media Converter PLANET MC-700 Black

PLANET MC-700 is a high-density 10" chassis that accommodates up to seven media converters in a compact black housing. It supports installation of PLANET Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet or VDSL2 converters, reducing rack space and simplifying fiber-optic wiring and maintenance. The chassis includes one internal fan for cooling and LED indicators to monitor fan and system status.

Advantages

The MC-700 provides seven hot-swappable slots with an independent power supply in each bay, enabling plug-and-play installation and replacement of media converters without interrupting other units. Its compact dimensions (217 × 140 × 88.5 mm), 40 W typical power consumption, and FCC/CE certification make it suitable for professional networking environments where space efficiency and reliability are required.

Suitable for

• Integration of multiple PLANET media converters in a single 10" rack chassis
• Fiber-to-copper, phone-line or serial-to-copper media conversion projects
• Environments requiring hot-swappable converter replacement and straightforward maintenance

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the MC-700 in a standard 10" rack or appropriate shelf, insert compatible PLANET media converters (FT, GT, VC-20x or ICS series) into the desired bays, and connect power and network cabling. Each bay has an independent power supply so converters can be added or removed while the chassis remains powered. Use the built-in fan and LED indicators to verify cooling and operational status.

Recommendations

Install the chassis in a well-ventilated rack space, verify compatibility of inserted media converter models with intended media types, and perform hot-swap operations only on converters while monitoring LEDs to ensure uninterrupted operation of remaining modules.
