Protokraft has launched the new Mustang Series of Jam Nut Gigabit Ethernet Optical Media Converters with TFOCA II optical interfaces. The media converters are suitable for industrial, military, mining and petrochemical applications where vibration, shock and extreme temperature levels are encountered.
Protokraft's Mustang Series Media Converter
The media converters consist of an optoelectronic receiver and a transmitter that are integrated with the 1000Base-T to LX/SX or 10/100Base-TX to FX Ethernet media conversion circuitry. The circuitry is fitted inside a sealed unit with the TFOCA II optical connector interface.
The optical media converters support Gigabit or Fast Ethernet and single mode or multimode fiber optic links. The compact media converters operate under a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The aluminium connectors and alloy case are sturdy, long-lasting and resistant to corrosion. The entire series comply with the Mil or IEEE standards.
The optical transmitters consist of 85 nm VCSEL or 1310 nm FP Lasers, while the receivers comprise limiting post-amplifiers, preamplifier assemblies and InGaAs or GaAs PIN. The electrical interface of the Mustang series is a MIL-DTL-83513 Micro D connector, which allows interconnection to Network Interface Cards, routers or Ethernet switches.
