Moxa's New Industrial Device Servers Support both Copper and Fiber



Taipei, Taiwan, Sep 13, 2005-Moxa is happy to introduce the new NPort IA series of industrial device servers that connect serial devices to 100 Mbps copper or fiber Ethernet networks. NPort IA device servers are equipped with dual Fast Ethernet ports (RJ45, 10/100BaseTX), allowing the device servers to be cascaded for easier deployment. When using an SC connector (100BaseFX) to connect to an Ethernet network, the distance can be extended up to 40 km using single mode fiber.

"Industrial automation applications require slim-type DIN Rail modules to fit into small control cabinets. In addition, fiber Ethernet is getting more and more popular for high noise environments due to the reduced price of fiber optic cable," said Jackie Shi, product manager for Moxa. "To meet this demand, Moxa's new NPort IA device servers come in a 1-inch wide DIN-Rail type and fiber Ethernet NPort device server."

NPort IA device servers are equipped with a software selectable RS-232/422/485 interface, and the 1-inch wide NPort IA saves space in the DIN-Rail mounting rack. In addition, NPort IA device servers come with dual power inputs. If one power source fails, or the Ethernet link is disconnected, alarms can be generated with a built-in relay, or an urgent email alert can be sent to the administrator.
