LANCAST To Demonstrate Four New Products At Networld + Interop Show.NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 1998--LANCAST, Inc. a leading provider of fiber optic connectivity solutions for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. networks, today announced that it will be demonstrating four new products at the Networld + Interop show being held in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. , May 4-8. A new chassis is being introduced to the "twister" 7000 Series of Media Translators This is primarily a list of notable Western translators. Please feel free to add translators from other languages, cultures and areas of specialization. Large sublists have been split off to separate articles. . The "twister" 7000-6 is a six slot chassis designed for environments that need to incorporate fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber into their networks, but requiring a smaller number of slots than currently offered in the 7000 Series. The 7000-6 can accommodate any "twister" Translator Module and provides a single 50-pin TELCO connector on the back of the unit. An optional wall-mount bracket is available. With the addition of this chassis, LANCAST provides the most flexible media translation solutions in the industry by providing customers with a choice of five chassis models. The "twister" 7000 Series is also available in 12, 16 and 17 slot rackmount versions. Two new translator modules for the "twister" 7000 chassis family are being unveiled. The 7731 "redundant twister" module is the industry's first fault-tolerant 100BASE FX translator that provides full redundant paths for Fast Ethernet devices. The 7313 Singlemode to Multimode "twister" module provides seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. between singlemode and multimode fiber An optical fiber with a larger core than singlemode fiber. It is the most commonly used fiber for short distances such as LANs. Light can enter the core at different angles, making it easier to connect the light source to broader light sources such as LEDs. optic segments. In addition, LANCAST will be introducing the FiberSwitch(tm), a high-performance fiber optic switch for integrating 10 and 100 Mbps networks. The FiberSwitch provides two 100 Mbps fiber optic ports and twelve 10 Mbps fiber optic ports combined in a single unit to accommodate dedicated client connections as well as high-bandwidth server or backbone uplinks. Each port can be configured con·fig·ure tr.v. con·fig·ured, con·fig·ur·ing, con·fig·ures To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses: for half or full duplex (Computers) arranged so that the information may be transmitted in both directions simultaneously; - of communications channels between computers; contrasted with LANCAST will be exhibiting its new products in Booth 5683.
