'Entry-level' media converters withstand harshness

For economical industrial Ethernet to fiber conversion, entry-level 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX and 10BaseT to 10BaseFL media converters wirthstand harsh industrial environments.
Moxa, a world-class manufacturer of industrial Ethernet products, recently launched a new series of entry-level Industrial Media Converters. The IMC-21 series, which provides an economic solution for Industrial Ethernet to fiber conversion, consists of entry-level 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX and 10BaseT to 10BaseFL media converters. The converters are specially designed for reliable and stable operation in harsh industrial environments, such as machine manufacturing, factory automation, and building automation.

IMC-21 is a cost-effective solution that runs on either a 12 to 45V DC power input or 18 to 30V AC power input.

IMC-21 can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -10 to 60 deg C, and the rugged hardware design helps ensure that your Ethernet equipment can withstand demanding industrial conditions.

Furthermore, IMC-21's 'Link Fault Pass Through' feature can force the link to shut down as soon as it notices that the other link has failed, giving the application software a chance to react.

Key features are: * Supports Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP).

* Multi mode or single mode with SC or ST fiber connectors available.

* Power inputs support 12 to 45V DC or 18 to 30V AC (47-63Hz).

* DIN-Rail mounting ability.

* Operating temperature range from -10 to 60 deg C.

* About Moxa - Moxa Networking is part of the Moxa Group, a conglomerate that manufactures device networking products for industrial automation.

Information about all Moxa products, which include industrial Ethernet switches, serial device servers, multiport serial cards, and embedded device servers, is available on the Moxa Group's corporate website
