Manufacturer of fiber optic network and copper switches, Electro Standards Laboratories has introduced the new QuickSwitch 4195 Fiber Optic Switch/Converter for fallback and conversion applications.
4195 Fiber Optic SC to RJ45 AB Switch-Converter
The fiber switch enables the user to access two individual fiber-optic 100 Base FX ports, namely the ports B and A, from a common 100 Base TX Fast Ethernet port. The QuickSwitch 4195 features an inbuilt fiber-optic/twisted pair copper conversion, and it is compliant to the 802.3u 100 Base TX/FX standard.
The QuickSwitch 4195 Fiber Optic Switch/Converter’s ports B and A are SC Duplex, 1300 nm Multimode 100 Base FX fiber-optic ports. The fiber-optic port, which is selected by the user, will convert and transmit data from and to the common port. The switch’s internal circuitry maintains isolation between the B and A networks.
When the QuickSwitch 4195 is in the A/B Switch Mode, its front panel button alters the position of the switch, avoiding the necessity to unplug and plug fiber patchcords. This helps in reducing the connector wear. The status of the switch position is showed on the front panel LEDs. The serial data switch commands should be sent to the rear panel’s RS232/DB9 Remote port, to switch through remote control.
