Keep copper access ports connected to fiber infrastructure in industrial and government environments with a converter built for demanding deployments. The Allied Telesis AT-IMC2000T/SP-980 bridges 10/100/1000T copper to 100X/1000X SFP fiber, giving you a clean migration path from short-reach Ethernet to uplink-ready fiber without redesigning the edge. Its industrial temperature design supports installations where standard commercial hardware is not appropriate, while the SFP-based fiber side lets you match the optic to the distance and media requirements of the site. That flexibility matters when you are standardizing across closets, remote enclosures, and controlled plant areas with different fiber runs. For teams that need to preserve existing copper endpoints while extending network reach, this converter reduces the need for a full switch replacement. It is a practical fit for TAA-regulated environments, remote aggregation points, and edge locations where uptime, compatibility, and deployment simplicity carry real cost implications.
