Antaira Introduces Antaira Compact Unmanaged Gigabit Media Converter

Antaira Technologies has announced the new compact IMC-C1000-SFP series.

Antaira Technologies’ IMC-C1000-SFP series is a compact IP-30 rated gigabit Ethernet-to-fiber media converter featuring a simple plug-and-play connectivity solution to quickly convert between Ethernet media and fiber optics. The small form factor of this metal casing switch is 30% smaller allowing for a more versatile implementation. It is perfectly designed to fulfill industrial applications that have small space requirements and need high bandwidth capabilities such as factory automation, security, ITS transportation, power/utility, and water wastewater treatment plants. This device also works well in any other outdoor application that is susceptible to an extreme ambient weather environment.

The IMC-C1000-SFP series features a 10/100/1000TX Ethernet port and a dual rate 100/1000 SFP slot to support speeds up to 1000Mbps. There is a built-in “Link Fault Pass Through” (LFP) and “Far End Fault” (FEF) function to alert users when a fiber link TX or RX connection is lost and the media converter will cut off all Ethernet connections. It provides 12~48VDC redundant power input support with a reverse polarity and overload current protection. It comes with DIN-rail mounting support as well as wall mountable orientations. This series provides wide operating temperature range models for either a STD: -10°C to 70°C or an EOT: -40°C to 75°C. These units also have high EFT, surge (2,000 VDC), and ESD (6,000VDC) protection to prevent against any unregulated voltage. The compact size and light weight design has dimensions of 26mm (W) x 75mm (D) x 95mm (H) and a unit weight of only 1 pound. Lastly, it is backed by a five year warranty from Antaira Technologies.
