With up to six fiber ports in a small form factor, the new series
provides the ability to configure fiber rings and fiber uplinks in an
ultra compact, very cost effective solution, says the vendor. Fiber
optic communication provides excellent noise immunity for environments
where high electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a factor. The fiber
connection also supports links over extended distances, up to 80km.
Their ultra compact size and versatile mounting options allow these
affordable switches to be used anywhere on the network, even in areas
where space is very limited. Starting prices range from $1,180 for the
709FX-HV Fully Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch with eight auto
sensing 10/100BaseTX Ports and one 100Base Fiber port, to $2,340 for the
712FX4-HV, which includes four 100Base Fiber ports.N-Tron Corp.www.n-tron.com251.342.2164
