Applications for FT14’s and hardened FT14H’s
The primary function of a 10Mb Ethernet Media Converter is to permit two
different 10Mb media types to coexist inexpensively within the same network by
allowing data to be transmitted and received between different media types.
Magnum FT14-series Media Converters are typically used where 10BASE-T
networking equipment is being installed in un-controlled temp environment and require
longer distance. Magnum FT14-series Media Converters have an external AC power
supply and internal DC Power supply, enabling them to be used to convert signals among
media that does not have a power source as part of the cabling system, such as twisted
pair and Fiber. Equipped with wide variety of options of AC and DC power supply and
components for higher un-controlled temp qualify the FT14’s for use in office locations
as well as industrial and even outdoor applications.
