Fibre switches bring greater distances and noise immunity to datacoms

Contemporary Controls has added new 5- and 8-port fibre switches to its Skorpion family to boost link distance and provide galvanic isolation increasing immunity to electrical noise and lightning strikes.
The rugged fibre series can extend distances up to 2 km multimode and 15 km single-mode. 'In addition,' says operations manager George Karones, "this series will provide you with peace of mind knowing that your exposed connections be they outdoor, underground, or installed in a hostile environment, are immune to their surroundings."
The EISK5 and EISK8 models can cost-effectively provide reliable connectivity for industrial and building automation systems. Fibre ports are used when distances exceed the 100 metre limit of copper, when immunity to EMI/RFI is important or for additional communication security. ST or SC connectors are available for use with (1300 nm) multimode fibre cable or SC connectors with single-mode (1300 nm) fibre cable. All fibre ports operate at 100 Mbps full-duplex.
Skorpion switches will operate in 0° to 60°C environments. Convenient mounting is available with the attached DIN-rail clip.
