Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. The limit is 5 Extenders connected at the same time; however, you may have more 'joined' to the host Media Center box you just can't use more than 5 at one time. I'm fairly certain that there's a limit as to how many can be joined; however, I can't remember what the number I may have seen was - sorry.

Media converters can be used on the desktop too. Typically media converters are dumb devices, however, some have smart features that simplify the management of large networks.
One of the common ways to solve computer-related problems is to power-cycle the device and see if the problem disappears. For PoE-powered devices, it is easy to turn off the power on the switch port connected to the device to reset it automatically. But since most media converters are not remotely manageable, they cannot do this. Instead, a person must be dispatched to the remote site to disconnect the PoE cable and reconnect it. The Remote Power Cycle feature enables you to reset remote devices by controlling the fiber connection on the switch, without the need for a remote site visit.
Media converters can also sometimes create problems with link failure detection. For example, if a fiber connection between two switches contains two media converters, the switches cannot detect a single fiber link failure, leading to faulty links and unreliable networks. The Allied Telesis Smart MissingLink feature enables media converters to pass the link status of their connections and thereby trigger corrective action when a problem on a link is detected.
A media converter is a networking device that connects two different media, like Ethernet copper and Ethernet fiber. Typically, they connect devices that are beyond meters from the nearest available switch. When used like this, a copper to fiber converter can connect a copper port on an Ethernet switch to the fiber that connects the device in the remote location, thereby extending the reach of the copper port. There are two main groups of media converters. The first group can convert only physical media, i.
Typically these devices are used whenever latency a time delay when transmitting the traffic is a critical factor, and it is not acceptable to have any delay in the conversion process. The second group of media converters are often called switch converters or rate converters and are a standard Ethernet switch equipped with two ports. However, the switch adds a small amount of latency to the connection, making this group unsuitable for time-sensitive applications.
An active media conversion device that includes a switch chip can be known as a switching media converter. The switch enables the link speed to be adapted to suit a wide variety of conversion tasks, but the switching component adds latency, making them unsuitable for some tasks.
The term fiber Media Connector indicates a media connector where one of the two ports is fiber Ethernet, and the other port is copper Ethernet. Fiber media converters can be connected to any compatible Ethernet fiber port, including directly to a switch port, so only one device would be required.

Unmanaged vs. Media Player Per the specs up to 5. Thank you, Do you know if MCE will accept more in a future, I was looking for an option that support 12 devices.
Jeff, I believe I read once that it will support only 3 for TV at one time.
