The SBFTF Series is a stand-alone media converter that provides an interface between 10/100Base-TX ports and 100Base-FX ports, allowing users to integrated fiber optic cabling into 10/100 copper environments. Operating at Layer 2, the data link layer, this converter not only converts copper to fiber, it also provides rate conversion allowing legacy 10Base-T copper devices to connect to 100Base-FX fiber.

The SBFTF10xx-105 is a stand-alone media converter that provides an interface between 10/100Base-TX ports and 100Base-FX ports, allowing users to integrated fiber optic cabling into 10/100 copper environments. Operating at Layer 2, the data link layer, this converter not only converts copper to fiber, it also provides rate conversion allowing legacy 10Base-T copper devices to connect to 100Base-FX fiber.

Transition Networks hardened serial device server provides the ability to communicate secured serial data across an Ethernet network. The SDSTX3110-121S-LRT contains two 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports that can be configured to communicate to one or multiple redundant servers. Security of the data transmission is assured through HTTPS, SSH, and SSL data encryption.

The SDSTX3110-121S-LRT comes with COM port redirector software enabling communication of serial data to a virtual COM port on a server, or can be used in pairs to provide serial tunneling across the Ethernet network. The SDSTX3110-121S-LRT is a hardened device designed to operate in the harshest environments. It has a slim IP30 enclosure that can fit into space-constraining cabinets. The device accepts 12-48VDC power input and it is also certified to operate in temperatures of -40°C to +70°C.

Transition Networks' SESPM1040-541-LT-xx Switch is a Layer 2 managed switch with (4) 10/100/1000Base-T IEEE 802.3bt compliant PoE++ ports and (1) combination 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 or 100/1000Base-X SFP port (additional optional ports available), that is ideal for use in security and surveillance, PoE lighting, digital signage and many other applications. It is self-enclosed in an outdoor NEMA 4X/IP66 rated enclosure with 6KV surge protection on the AC line. Additional fuse protection on the PoE ports and included data port eliminates the need for external circuit cross protection between the attached PD and the switch. It can be mounted on a wall or side of a building, or optional brackets are available for mounting on a pole.

The switch is available in multiple configurations: as either an AC- or DC-powered power source (PSE) providing ≤60 Watts of power per port simultaneously on all four ports or ≤90 Watts on individual ports (not to exceed 240 Watts total*), or as a PoE-powered device (PD) providing up to 80 Watts of total PoE power. The PD version requires power from an IEEE 802.3bt Class 8 compliant PSE but can receive that power over Ethernet cable or over copper cable running parallel to a fiber optic cable, and includes a 12V Aux port which can be used to provide auxiliary power to a PC, lighting or other accessories. A second combo 10/10/1000Base-T RJ-45 maintenance or 100/1000Base-X SFP uplink port can be activated by installing an optional Combo Port Module. Alternatively, an IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless Ethernet extension port is available as an option to extend the Ethernet network to devices in locations where new Ethernet cable runs are not practical. An optional Digital Input/Output Module with four optical isolators configurable as either input or outputs provide connections for alarms, event notifications or other customer designated items.

All versions are equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) to allow simple and repeatable configuration of the switch using a user-friendly app on a mobile device prior to connecting or powering up the switch. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) allows remote access to alarm information or to read or change equipment settings without requiring physical access using ladders or scissor lifts. The switch also incorporates integrated management software for setup, monitoring and control of connected devices.

The SGFEB provides a cost effective method for integrating 1000Base-SX/LX fiber into a 10/100/1000Base-T copper environment. Deploying fiber into today's networks provides the ability to transmit data over significantly longer distances than is possible on copper. Fiber also protects your data from external sources of noise and interference, improving network performance.
