Network & Communication

Measuring less than 3.5 inches deep and 2 inches wide, the IE-MiniMc Series converters are some of the industry's smallest copper-to-fiber media converters, with both data connections on the same side. The IE-MiniMc family of media converters are a fraction of the cost of other industrial grade alternatives. These products provide the ease and convenience of plug-and-play operation with features including Auto Negotiation and Auto-Cross.

Multiple powering options include Power over Ethernet (PoE/PD), AC wall adapter and USB, which offers unsurpassed flexibility for a variety of installations.

The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III intelligent media converter connects a Host/Remote Ethernet network over a fiber optic or CAT 5 copper connection. It combines media conversion with an advanced-feature set for network management and troubleshooting, including OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance), Extra-Tagging and EtherType control functionality. With the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III, administrators can observe the end-points over the fiber segment between them, as a single management entity. Bandwidth scalability and support for MIBs II makes this modular device a versatile gigabit solution, now available as a single wide module.

iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III allows for remote configuration and alerts administrators to any potential problems on the long-haul fiber run, provides vital information on link condition and reports data traffic statistics.. In addition to the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III's support for Host/Remote environments, the product also has built-in support for the Unified Management Agent (UMA). With UMA, the central location can manage all Host/Remote pairs installed in an iMediaChassis with the single IP address of the chassis.

Optional single- or dual-SFP port versions or all copper (RJ-45) port versions are also available for complete network flexibility. The iMcVGiga-- FiberLinX-III SFP requires one or two MSA-compliant fiber optic SFP modules (sold separately) to operate. [Copper SFPs are not supported.]

SERIAL TO FIBER OPTIC CONVERTERS

Standards can be mixed and matched so RS-232 devices can be connected to RS-422/485 devices, replacing a converter and isolator. When working with RS-485 signals, B&B Electronics' Automatic Send Data control eliminates the need for driver software. Serial connections are on terminal blocks; multimode fiber side has two ST connectors. Requires external power supply not included.
