Media Converter B-I Power Supply
The FiberFab range of 10/100BASE-Tx to 100BASE-Fx/Sx Ethernet media converters have been designed to meet today’s needs and are aimed at simplifying the conversion of copper to fiber. The units have a built in power supply that use an industry standard power lead allowing the units to be connected to power outlets, strips or UPS supplies as your needs require. Manufactured in a strong aluminium casing, the units are very rugged and well screened from external electrical noise. There are three basic designs: - A normal unit for duplex multi-mode traditional data networks. - Three long haul duplex single-mode units capable of driving the signals between 20 and 60KM. - Finally a group of single mode long haul units that only require a single fiber for both transmit and receive signals, doubling your fiber capacity. The standard units are a cost effective solution to connect remote buildings or sites to your existing network. Most of the cost involved in adding a fiber connection to your network is normally swallowed up replacing your existing copper switch to one that incorporates a fiber port. With the FiberFab media converter you can simply connect into an existing copper switch for a fraction of the cost of a new copper/fiber switch. Many modern switches have an upgradeable fiber port, but the cost of the fiber module is still higher than utilising the FiberFab media converter. The single fiber units utilise high specification, Wave Division Multiplexing to use 1310nm and 1550nm single-mode fiber wavelengths for the transmit and receive signals. With the cost of installing even the shortest run of fiber at over £900, the single fiber media converters are a very efficient and cost effective way to expand the capacity of your fiber network without the expense of adding additional fibers.
Specifications 100BASE Tx/Fx Switched Link Installing fiber between two buildings using switches with a built in fiber port is very expensive and inflexible especially if you ever require expansion. Using FiberFab fiber converters and standard copper switches can save you 30%. We have estimated the cost to an installer of a simple fiber link from a main building to a small out building. If an all copper 24 port switch was already in place, the savings in method 1 for the fiber link would be far greater.
