Ethernet Fiber Switches provide noise immunity.
Press Release Summary:
Configurable switch line includes fiber versions that offer Port VLAN, trunking, QoS, and programmable fault relay. Model EISC12-100T/FT has 10 twisted-pair wired ports and 2 multimode fiber ports with ST connectors. Model EISC12-100/FC is identical except for SC connectors, and EISC12-100T/FCS also uses SC connectors but with single-mode ports. DIN-rail or panel mounted units are immune to radio signals and electrical noise.Original Press Release:
Ethernet Fiber Switches Provide Noise Immunity and Extra Ports
Downers Grove, Illinois - Contemporary Controls' family of configurable switches is now complete with fiber versions that double the number of ports. The growing need for fiber underscores the demand for noise-free signal transmission.
The EISC12-100T/FT has ten twisted-pair wired ports, and two multimode fiber (1300 nm) ports with ST connectors. The EISC12-100/FC is identical except it has SC connectors. The EISC12-100T/FCS also uses SC connectors but with single-mode (1300 nm) ports.
Like their sister product, a 16 port 10/100 Mbps twisted-pair switch, they boast advanced features typically only available in high-end switches: Port VLAN, trunking, QoS (Quality of Service) and programmable fault relay, configured via a console port connected to a Windows-based configuration program included with each product.
Fiber optic cables systems extend connections and reduce signal errors by providing longer distances (up to 15 km with the single-mode version) and immunity to radio signals and electrical noise.
The units can be DIN-rail or panel mounted and can operate over a wide-range, low-voltage AC or DC power source. Redundant power connections are available for backup power schemes.
The price of the EISC12-100T/FT is $1095, the EISC12-100T/FC is $1095 and the EISC12-100T/FCS is $1495. More information is available at www.ctrlink.com/eisc.htm or by calling the company at +1(630)963-7070.
