Annapolis Junction, Maryland – April 28, 2015 – What do you get when
you cross Ethernet with fiber optic distribution? FiberPlex’s new TIS-8632
10/100/1000 Ethernet-to-fiber switch.
Offering complete
immunity to EMI/RFI and incredible distance as well as bulletproof security
between nodes, the TIS-8632 is a new six-port Ethernet switch that interfaces
CAT based networks to fiber optic communications.
The unit features two
pluggable SFP ports for singlemode or multimode optical fiber and four RJ-45
UTP ports to extend IT data distribution beyond copper cabling’s 100 meter
limitation, or to isolate a path between nodes for security or noise immunity
purposes.
“Our new TIS-8632's
combination of Ethernet SFP support and bussed DC power capability creates a
powerful yet affordable option for distributed Ethernet solutions in the IT or
AV space,” says Buddy Oliver, President of FiberPlex, which manufactures
optical multiplexers as well as media converters for AV, industrial control and
IT network applications.
Two or more TIS-8632
units can be daisy-chained together via fiber (or an inexpensive copper jumper
cable for short runs) and can be used to add multiple AV elements such as
distributed IP video cameras onto the network, or to isolate a conference room
for security purposes.
The TIS-8632 is
part of the FiberPlex TD Import Series and supports SFPs for 10/100/1000
Ethernet as well as GbE fiber optic communications, either singlemode or
multimode (or both, for bridging the two together). It is designed to be an
affordable, reliable workhorse for use in various commercial and industrial
environments. The TIS-8632 can be DIN rail mounted and up to three TIS-8632
units can be installed in an optional 1U TDR-01 rack shelf. It is powered
either by a 9VDC AC power adapter (included) or via bussed power supplied
through an integrated three pin Phoenix™ connector.
The TIS-8632 can be
used in conjunction with FiberPlex’s media converters and
wavelength division
multiplexers (WDMs) as part of a complete fiber optics network. Optical
fiber cable is more resilient, can transmit information error-free over greater
distances, and has a much larger capacity for data than standard CAT cabling.
This latest converter
by FiberPlex will be shown at Infocomm 2015, booth 715. FiberPlex makes fiber
optic products and systems for government agencies as well as for houses of
worship, corporate facilities, broadcast applications, and K-12 and higher
education.
