Allied Telesyn Pushes Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity to 2km With New Extender.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2000 Expert in quality, support and cost -- engineering makes Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. work for more of today's networks by easing distance limitations Allied Telesyn International (www.alliedtelesyn.com), a worldwide leader in simplifying networking for businesses of all sizes and the market-leading supplier of media conversion technology, Monday announced the release of a new Gigabit Ethernet Multi-mode Extender See Media Center Extender, bus extender and DOS extender. that helps network managers overcome cable length limitations in Gigabit Ethernet networks, using multi-mode fiber See multimode fiber. cabling. Consistent with Allied Telesyn's commitment to making Gigabit Ethernet technology more feasible for today's busy but large networks, the new AT-EX1001SC/GM1 Gigabit Ethernet multi-mode extender overcomes the biggest objection that companies have to Gigabit -- impractical distance limitations. The AT-EX1001SC/GM1 delivers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in compliance with IEEE 802.3z (networking, standard) IEEE 802.3z - The IEEE committee working on standards for Gigabit Ethernet. to provide a clean and efficient way to facilitate long-distance Gigabit network segments up to a distance of 2km with multi-mode fiber. Legacy FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) Often pronounced "fiddy," it was a LAN and MAN access method that had its heyday in the mid-1990s. FDDI was an ANSI standard token passing network that transmitted 100 Mbps over optical fiber up to 10 kilometers. networks can also be upgraded easily and cost-effectively, without the need to install expensive single-mode fiber See singlemode fiber. cable and interfaces. Interoperable with all standard Gigabit Ethernet equipment, the AT-EX1001SC/GM1 can be connected to any Gigabit Ethernet switch, router, hub or network adapter A printed circuit board that plugs into the bus of both user machines (clients) and servers in a local area network (LAN). Also commonly called a "network interface card" (NIC) or "LAN card," the network adapter transmits data onto the network and receives data from the network. . With no management software to install and no complicated options to configure, the standalone stand·a·lone adj. Self-contained and usually independently operating: a standalone computer terminal. AT-EX1001SC/GM1 Gigabit Ethernet Multi-mode Extender delivers the bandwidth of Gigabit to speed-up network performance while preserving ease of use and plug and play installation. The AT-EX1001SC/GM1 is value-priced at $3000 U.S. List, backed by a limited lifetime warranty and free technical support.
