IFS Line / Network Transmission
4-Port Ethernet
to Fiber Industrial
Media Converters
Overview
IFS Ethernet to Fiber Industrial Media Converters offer four
10/100Mbps Ethernet ports and 100Base-FX transmission on either
multi-mode or single mode optical fiber for optimum bandwidth
usage. Specifically designed for stable and reliable operation in
electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments, the
module’s slim, IP-30 standard metal case accommodates DIN-rail
or wall mounting for efficient installation in multiple applications.
These converters are engineered with a high-performance switch
architecture capable of providing a non-blocking switch fabric and
wire-speed throughput as high as 1Gbps or 1.2Gbps. With its 2K
MAC address table, these media converters offer wire-speed packet
transfer performance without the risk of packet loss. The Flow
Control function allows these modules to deliver fast and reliable
data transfer.
Available in multi-mode or single-mode configurations, the converters
deliver distances of up to 2km or 15km respectively. Providing
extended distance Ethernet transmission, these units are well suited
for remotely deployed edge devices such as IP cameras, access
control, VoIP and wireless access points. IFS also provides a multimode dual-fiber version for drop and repeat network topologies.
