New Ethernet Media Converter Extends Fiber Optic Distance to 15 km
Downers Grove, Illinois - Contemporary Controls announces new capabilities for the media converters in its CTRLink line. The new EIMC-100T/FCS extends fiber distance to 15 km in full-duplex mode, making the single-mode fiber connection via SC-style connectors. This device is ideal for engineers looking to go beyond the traditional 2 km multimode fiber distance when converting between copper and fiber in industrial applications.
Up to this point, two other media converters could only achieve 2 km in full-duplex mode-the EIMC-100T/FT and the EIMC-100T/FC versions. These two models pass 100-Mbps data between 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX (1300 nm) segments: The EIMC-100T/FT makes the fiber optic connection via ST-style connectors, whereas the EIMC does so via SC-style connectors.
The design of the EIMC-100T/FCS can lead to reduced installation time and improved data flow. Features include PnP technology, miniature size, easy DIN-rail installation and wide-range, low-voltage AC or DC power sources.
The price of this device is $545. Availability is scheduled for June 2004.
