Mercury 28VDC Media Converters

Mercury series Ethernet fiber optic media converters consist of optoelectronic transmitter and receiver functions integrated along with the 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX or 1000Base-T electrical to 1000Base-SX optical media conversion circuitry into an externally mounted Mil-Dtl-38999 connector assembly.

The optical transmitters are high output 1310nm LED‘s or 850nm VCSEL's. The optical receivers consist of InGaAs or GaAs PIN and preamplifier assemblies and limiting post-amplifiers. The electrical interface to the Mercury series bulkhead optical media converters is a Mil-Dtl-38999 connector enabling interconnection to an internal backplane or external backbone cable interface.

FEATURES

• Compliant with IEEE-802.3:2005 Fast or Gigabit Ethernet
• Optical fiber link distances up to 2.0 Kilometers
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C
• Shock, vibration and immersion resistant per Mil-Std-810 and Mil-Std-1344
• Olive Drab Cadmium plating meets stringent EMI / RFI performance specifications
• Aluminum chassis and D38999 housings are strong, durable, corrosion resistant and light weight
• Mil-T-29504 compliant optical fiber connector interface
• D38999 electrical interfaces provides robust interconnection to vehicle wiring

Mercury series Fast Ethernet media converters are vibration isolated, environmentally hardened components designed for use in harsh environment applications.

• Sealed against liquid and solid contaminants
• Shock and vibration resistant

Mercury series bulkhead mounted Fast Ethernet media converters enable high speed network communications over long distances in harsh environments.

• Fast or Gigabit Ethernet switches and peripherals
• Telecom and datacom switch / router rack-to-rack links
• Storage or computation clusters

The Mil-Dtl-38999, Series III shell provides a sealed optical interface that is water-tight to Mil-Std-810 / IP67 / NEMA-4x when mated. The multimode optical fiber interface supports applications where copper cable link distance, bandwidth, weight or bulk make the use of twisted pair, twinax or quadrax copper conductors unacceptable.
