Fibre-optic connectivity may be required innetworks due to several reasons, distance beingthe most popular, as the copper connectivity islimited by the standard to a network span of205 m only. Using Multiple Channel external media convertersin conjunction with UTP hubs or switches hasproven to be the most flexible and cost effectivemethod, cheaper by far compared to usingswitches with integrated fibre-optic ports.This compact size yet high quality deviceimplements innovative Media Conversiontechnologies providing an unconditioned networkextension over m/m fibre of up to 3500 m(11500 ft), in any network architecture (evenwhen such includes repeaters). The device is fully transparent and automaticallyadapts to conversion of Half and Full-Duplextransmissions. Along with its extensive front-panel diagnosticsit ensures trouble free network design, installationand maintenance. |
