To break the standard distance barriers, the iCON-3341 series efficiently extends 10/100 Ethernet circuits to 200 meters (656 feet) at up to 85Mbps using existing coaxial cable and up to 2,600 meters (8,530 feet) at 1Mbps transmit performance. For ease of maintenance, the iCON-3341 series features front-facing LED indicators for continues status reports on network speed. “Today’s shop-floor equipment is all Ethernet, however; re-cabling is often the showstopper and sometimes cost more than the communications equipment. Designed for device-networking environments, Axiomtek’s iCON-3341 series lets customers keep using what they already have to establish a high-speed remote connection between two Ethernet networks,” said Philip Wei, Product Manager of Applied Computing & Network Device Business Unit at Axiomtek.
The RJ-45 port on this unit provides auto-MDIX and auto-negotiation. Its installation is easy with a single switch setting to select local or remote site. In addition, the iCON-3341 series comes equipped with a 12 VDC redundant power input via a terminal block or power jack, and is secured with Power Polarity Reverse and an Overload Current Resettable Fuse. To fit various application requirements, the device can be DIN-rail, panel, or rack mounted.
