While Media Converters are considered part ofthe cable plant, in many cases they must beremotely managed as any other network device.In particular this is true in mission-critical, fullymanaged networks as well as in networksdispersed over large areas to allow efficient controland maintenance. The S.CON1M is the onlySNMP managed single channel Media Converteravailable in the market. While vendors offer suchfeature for large chassis based systems only, theneed for management is more intense in singlechannel devices, being deployed away from themain wiring closets. Out-of-band managementassures independance of the control channel forenhanced system reliability. This compact size device implements theinnovative BMD (Buffered Media Domain)technology to provide an unconditioned networkextension over m/m fibre of 2000m (6600ft), inany network architecture (even when suchincludes repeaters). Its copper port is autosensingto provide easy migration from 10Mbpsto 100Mbps transmission rates. Special attentionwas given to allow easy installation andmaintenance: MDI-II/MDI-X switch to eliminatecrossed cables, internal quality power-supply,extensive front-panel diagnostics and more. Incase that more than one device must be installedin a wiring center, a special 19" shelf is availablefor easy and safe installation while occupyingminimal rack-space. No PDV calculation need tobe performed prior to implementing in a network- full performance is always guaranteed.All these features make the S.CON1M the mostpowerful device of its kind. |
