Industrial Media Converter - expand your existing network in harsh industrial environments
The Intellinet Network Solutions Industrial Gigabit Media Converter offers the network designer a device for migration from copper-based Ethernet to Fiber Ethernet. Now, migration or expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum cost and complexity. The converter is completely transparent to the network, so the network performs exactly the way it did before, only now it can support both copper and fiber media. It provides fiber connectivity to Ethernet segments, allowing for even greater networking expansion between extended workgroups. It also provides building-to-building connectivity without the need for the cost and disruption associated with the installation of additional routers.
Equipped even for challenging environment conditions
With its rugged, protective, IP40-rated metal housing, the converter operates reliably, even in extreme temperatures from -40 to 85ºC (-40 to 185ºF). In combination with its DIN-rail mounting option and two safe redundant DC power inputs with plenty of other safety features, this converter is ideal for IoT applications in Industry 4.0 and more.
