Axiomtek unveils new durable Fast Ethernet media convertersCreated: 7/28/2010 7:52:49 PMAxiomtek recently introduced the iCON-1141 series of Fast Ethernet media coverters for users who need to translate transmission signals from 100BASE-TX cables to 100BASE-FX fiber-optic cables.
The new converters operate in temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 167 degrees Fahrenheit, offering more flexibility for technicians who may be using the device in the field.
The new series meets NEMA TS1/2 standards for traffic control equipment and complies with the IEC61850-3 and IEEE1613 standards for electric utility automation applications.
“Axiomtek’s iCON-1141 Fast Ethernet media converters allow you to connect twisted-pair network to optical-fiber network easily and cost effectively,” said Phillip Wei, product manager of applied computer and network device business unit at Axiomtek.
The device comes equipped with a Link Fault Pass Through feature to increase system reliability. In addition, IT professionals and fiber installers can benefit from the product’s high quality components, Wei added, as its long Mean Time Between Failures can keep “industrial applications running non-stop.”
The use of fiber-optic cables and converters for traffic lights has become a widely adopted practice. Recently, Manatee County officials in Florida announced their traffic surveillance project was nearly six months ahead of schedule, the Lakewood Ranch Herald reported.
