B&B Electronics Manufacturing Company of Ottawa, Ill., releases its iMcV-Giga FiberLinX-III gigabit intelligent Ethernet media converter.
The converter is a 10/100/1,000Mbps copper to 1,000Mbps fiber device, converting existing copper wiring-based networks to fiber optics. It securely transmits data from end to end over fiber (up to 100Km), well beyond copper’s distance limitation (328feet), according to the company. A singlewide module replaces the previous dual-wide module, now occupying only one slot to reduce the cost-per-slot in a multi-port chassis.
The company’s free simple network management protocol (SNMP) iView² software allows end users to monitor remote network nodes from a central management host, reducing onsite visits to troubleshoot equipment. The iMcV-Giga FiberLinX-III may be installed as a pair (host/remote) or as a standalone unit, connected to another gigabit device.
