The EIMK Skorpion Media Converter series makes the conversion of an
Ethernet copper segment to fiber simple. By operating full-duplex at 100 Mbps
provides the highest possible performance on 100 Mbps links. The EIMK is a
true media converter and not just a two-port Ethernet switch. Therefore
performance is enhanced by not introducing the store-and-forward data latency
inherent in a switch. Both multimode and single-mode models are available
with ST or SC connectors. Fiber distances of up to 15 km are possible with
the single-mode model-up to 2 km with the multimode models. On the copper
side, both MDI and MDIX ports are available to compliment either an end
station port or a switch port.

Each of the three models supports full-duplex operation for 100BASE-TX and
100BASE-FX segments. Two models support multimode fiber optic connections:
the EIMK-100T/FT makes the fiber optic connection via ST-style connectors,
whereas the EIMK-100T/FC does so via SC-style connectors. The model
EIMK-100T/FCS supports single-mode fiber via SC-style connectors. Maximum distance
with 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber cables is 2 km while singlemode fiber can
span up to 15 km.
Two RJ-45 connectors (one MDIX port and one MDI port) allow either
straight-through or crossover copper cabling. Link and activity LEDs allow
troubleshooting on both the copper and fiber sides.
All units mount on TS-35 DIN-rail and operate from either a 24 V AC or DC
power source while offering redundant power connections. By incorporating a
half-wave rectifier design, the sharing of the power source with other
half-wave devices is possible.
Designed for commercial and industrial Ethernet applications, all models
comply with EMC immunity and emissions compatibility standards for industrial
environments. |
