So-called fashion converters such as the KGC-311 from CTI are used wherever different types of fiber meet. The KGC-311 connects single-mode and multi-mode glass-fibers at constant speed optionally with either fast Ethernet or gigabit and is also suitable as an amplifier for long stretches. Transparent conversion ensures lag-free data transfer at maximum speed. Thus, a series connection of several converters is possible without any delay without any problem. Through the configuration with SFPs the device can be used flexibly and easily maintained. The KGC-311 is delivered as desktop-converter, but also fits in all CTI converter racks and is compatible with the magnetic holder MAG01. A wall and DIN rail mounting plate for mounting in control cabinets and distributor boxes is also available.This text is machine translated.
