IFS Introduces 100Mbps Ethernet Fiber Optic Transceiver
New Ethernet Transceiver Features Selectable Data Rate for 10MBPS or 100MBPS Transmission on Optical Fiber.
NEWTOWN, CT. March 28, 2002 -International Fiber Systems Incorporated (IFS), a leading manufacturer of fiber optic transmission equipment, has announced the introduction of its D7100 Series Ethernet Transceivers. The IFS D7100 Ethernet Transceivers can transmit either 10Mps or 100Mbps Ethernet data over multimode or single-mode optical fiber. Initially there will be 2 models within the series. The D7100 Series products will be available for wide scale release in May 2002.
The D7100 Series Ethernet Transceiver can be used for point-to-point transmission in systems utilizing the Ethernet packet data protocol. This can be within an existing network or in facilities where no existing Ethernet cabling infrastructure exists. "Transmitting Ethernet over fiber optics with this device has an effective range of up to 1.2 miles. That is more far more effective than a CAT 5 structured cable wiring system, where the distance is limited to 300 feet per segment and requires additional equipment for extended distances." said Nhu Dang, IFS Product Manager. Applications such as corporate data networks, access control systems, Video over IP and other systems requiring extended distance in transmitting Ethernet, that can not be handled by Category 5 cabling is where the D7100 series will be the best solution.
"With the convergence of computer and data networking with modern security and ITS applications, consultants and dealers were looking for solutions from IFS and we've responded to those requests" said Richard Malstrom, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at IFS. "IFS will continue to support the industry as open architect standards such as Ethernet are adopted by more and more system manufacturers."
The D7100 Series is built to be environmentally hardened for use in harsh out-of-plant environments that are common with security and ITS applications and has an operating temperature range of between - 40 degrees C to +74 degrees C. The D1700 is available in stand alone or rack mount versions.
The unit features LED's that help the installer easily identify operating status and data presence without the need for test equipment. Like all IFS products, the IFS D7100 Series features plug and play design that ensures easy installation without needing electrical or optical adjustments.
Established in 1985, IFS is at the forefront of advances in fiber optic technologies. The company offers more than 300 analog and digital fiber optic products for commercial and industrial applications, which include CCTV, access control, data transmission, fire and alarm system applications, intelligent transportation systems, facility and building automation, and broadcast systems.
