Irvine, CA – May 6, 2019 – Omnitron Systems, a leading provider of fiber connectivity products, today introduced its managed and unmanaged RuggedNet industrial compact fiber switches and OmniConverter enterprise compact fiber switches that enable fiber optic distance extension multiple network devices.
“The introduction of the RuggedNet industrial Ethernet switches and the enterprise OmniConverter product line provides our resellers and end users the ability to cost-effectively extend network distances to multiple network edge devices such as workstations, Wi-Fi access points, or IP cameras.” said Sankar Ramachandran, Omnitron’s Product Marketing Director. “Also, being made in the USA and TAA compliant, both product families meet the stringent security requirements of our enterprise and government customers.”
Both the RuggedNet and OmniConverter compact fiber switches feature four or eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports, and one or two fiber Gigabit ports. They feature fixed ST, SC, and LC connectors or Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. SFP models support a variety of distances in standard and CWDM wavelengths.
RuggedNet industrial compact fiber switches are standards-compliant ruggedized network switches that are temperature hardened to -40º to 75ºC, and designed for deployments in manufacturing, transportation, energy, and IoT applications. They can be DIN-rail mounted, and feature single or dual DC power inputs and contact closures that can generate alarms.
OmniConverter compact fiber switches are designed for standard enterprise network deployments. They can be wall or DIN-rail mounted, and are powered using external 100 to 240VAC power adapters.
Both the RuggedNet and OmniConverter compact fiber switches are available in managed and unmanaged models. The managed models can be managed via an IP-based web interface, Telnet or serial console interface. The IP-based web management provides the ability to monitor status and configure hardware parameters using a web browser. Managed models feature VLAN, rate limiting, Class of Service, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and a variety of network security protocols.
Both the RuggedNet and OmniConverter compact fiber switches support specialized networking modes for efficient delivery of data traffic, including Directed Switch Mode and Dual Device Mode. Directed Switch Mode prevents port flooding by routing multicast traffic, such as video, only to its destination ports. Models with two fiber ports support Dual Device Mode that enables the device to operate as two separate and isolated switches with independent fiber uplinks and RJ-45 ports. Models with two fiber ports also facilitate daisy chain topologies and fiber link redundancy and protection with less than 50ms failover.
All RuggedNet and OmniConverter products are made in the USA and TAA compliant, and include free 24/7 technical support.
