Overview
Introduction
The 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC or 10/100/1000TX to 1000SX/LX
Industrial Switch Converter is designed to convert Gigabit Ethernet
networks to Gigabit fiber networks by transparently converting Ethernet
signals to optic signals. The advantages of fiber optics are wide
bandwidth, EMI immunity and long-distance transmission capability.
Therefore, the industrial switch converter is an ideal solution for “fiber to
building” applications at central offices or local sites.
The industrial
switch converter
supports MDI/MDIX auto detection, so you don’t need
to use crossover wires.
Furthermore,
the industrial switch converter
can
work normally from -10 ~ 60
o
C and accepts a wide voltage range from
+12 ~ 48 V
DC
.
Besides, it also provides 3,000 V
DC
surge (EFT)
protection against over-voltage, so it is suitable for harsh operating
environments.
Gigabit Fiber Converter
The 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC Industrial Switch Converter has
one SFP fiber slot which provides the flexibility when planning and
implementing a network. The slot can accept any 1000M SFP-type fiber
module and these modules are designed for transmitting over distances
of either 500m (multi-mode), 10km, 30km, 50km, 70km or 110km
(single-mode). This means you can easily change the transmission
mode and distance of the switch by simply pulling out the SFP module
and plugging in a different module. The SFP module is hot-swappable
and plug-and-play!
Gigabit Fiber Converter
The 10/100/1000TX to 1000SX/LX Industrial Switch Converter
provides you with one Fiber connector for your fiber optic cable and one
Ethernet RJ-45 port (Auto MDI/MDIX) for your 1000Base-TX copper
cable connection. There are two DIP-switches to set power alarm and
link loss forwarding function.
