This 19" Rack-Mountable device provides an optimized Media Conversion solution for some of the most abundant configurations of switching hubs: 12 ports of 10Base-T and 1 or 2 ports of 100Base-TX (and their multiplies ). It combines S.CON 10/100BaseTX-FX conversion channels and CTF 10BaseT/FL conversion channels. The S.CON channels implement the innovative BMD (Buffered Media Domain) technology to provide an unconditioned network extension over m/m fibre of 2000 m (6600 ft), in any network architecture (even when such includes repeaters). It's copper ports are auto-sensing to provide easy migration from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps transmission rates. Redundant power-supply, directly removable (hot-swap) power-supply, extensive front-panel diagnostics and more, ensure increased reliability as well as easy installation and maintenance. It is factory pre-configured and several devices can be mixed and stacked to achieve the exact number of channels required while occupying minimal rack-space. |
