Networks today announced a new line of "Industrial Ethernet" grade, SNMP-manageable, optical Ethernet demarcation units in a sturdy, standalone format, based on its best-selling FiberLinX line of FTTx products. Combining copper-to-fiber conversion, robust management, advanced VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network tagging capabilities, extended temperature performance, plug-and-play operation, miniature size and multiple powering options, the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II is one of the most versatile fiber optic devices available on the market today. Designed for network operators or service providers, the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II functions as a Network Interface Device (NID NID Next ID NID Network Interface Device NID No I Don't NID Namespace Identifier NID National Intelligence Director NID New Iraqi Dinar NID No I Didn't NID Network Identification NID National Inventory of Dams NID NCVA ), provisioning point-to-point fiber optic connections and providing a unique management tool to monitor the entire link between two locations. E[acute accent]"The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II makes it easier than ever for network operators to deliver affordable, managed Ethernet services over fiber," said Jerry Roby, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of privately-held IMC Networks. "We've added advanced management capabilities to lower network operating costs, and the compact, extended temperature form factor with DC powering option allows installation in outdoor and other difficult environments." E[acute accent]With the ability to be managed as a single entity, the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II allows for remote configuration and provides vital alerts to network administrators. As a copper-to-fiber media converter, it allows operators to use lower-cost copper switches, rather than expensive optical switches, to connect to the fiber network. E[acute accent]The IE-MiniFiberLinX-II comes equipped with one 100 Mbps fiber port for data and management, one 10/100 twisted pair port for customer data, as well as an RS-232 craft port for local configuration on the unit during installation. E[acute accent]Offering unparalleled flexibility, the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II supports multiple fiber types including multi-mode and single-mode as well as single-strand fiber. Versions supporting a full range of Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing See CWDM. (CWDM (Course WDM) An optical transmission method that is used for shorter distances than dense WDM (DWDM). Also known as "wide WDM," CWDM transmits fewer channels and uses wider spacing between the channels for distances up to 60 km. Wider spacing up to 25 nm, compared to 1. ) wavelengths are also available. E[acute accent]The "Industrial Ethernet" (IE) designation indicates that the device supports multiple powering options: AC, DC, and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3af-compliant PoE (as a PD device), and operates over an extended temperature range of -35 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius. E[acute accent]Availability and Pricing E[acute accent]IMC Network's entire line of IE-MiniFiberLinX-II optical Ethernet demarcation units are available immediately through IMC Networks' extensive distribution channel, and list pricing starts at $445.
