Ethernet-to-fibre converters

7 July 2010 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Advantech’s EKI-2741 family of Gigabit industrial Ethernet media converters combine the high speed of Gigabit Ethernet with the EMI/RFI noise immunity and electrical isolation of fibre-optic cable, allowing Gigabit Ethernet connections to span almost 100 km.

The EKI-2741SX supports 1000Base-SX fibre connections over multimode fibre up to 550 m, while the EKI-2741LX supports 1000Base-LX fibre connections over 10 km. For maximum range, the EKI-2741F supports a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) slot for optional industry-standard fibre-optic transceiver modules, supporting connections up to nearly 100 km. All units include link fault pass-through (LFP), which allows cable breaks or power failures to be signalled to attached devices, enhancing network integrity and simplifying network maintenance and management.

Featuring compact and thin DIN-rail mount metal chassis, the media converters are suitable where panel space is limited. They are also ruggedised for industrial applications with dual 12 to 48 V d.c. power inputs, 4000 V Ethernet ESD protection and power line surge protection of 3000 V. They have an operating temperature range of -10°C to 60°C and all modes are cUL (UL/CSA), FCC, CE and RoHS/WEEE certified.
