Protokraft Introduces Mustang TFOCA II Media Converters
Kingsport, TN, July 19, 2010 -- Protokraft today announced the availability of its Mustang Series of Fast or Gigabit Ethernet media converters with Jam Nut TFOCA II® connector interfaces to improve optical network performance and reliability in harsh environment applications. Protokraft Mustang series fiber optic Ethernet media converters consist of optoelectronic transmitter and receiver functions integrated along with the 10/100Base-TX to FX or 1000Base-T to LX/SX Ethernet optical media conversion circuitry into an environmentally sealed unit with an Amphenol Fiber Systems International TFOCA II® optical connector interface.
Protokraft’s new Mustang Series of Jam Nut Ethernet Optical Media Converters support both Fast or Gigabit Ethernet and multimode or single mode fiber optic links. All versions are fully compliant with the applicable IEEE or Mil requirements.
FEATURES
- Compliant with IEEE-802.3:2005 Fast or Gigabit Ethernet
- Optical fiber link distances up to 10.0 Kilometers
- Operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C
- Shock, vibration and ESD resistant per MIL-STD-810
- Zinc-Nickel plating meets stringent EMI / RFI performance specifications
- Aluminum alloy case and connectors are strong, durable and corrosion resistant
- TFOCA II® optical fiber connector interface for tactical cable applications
- Mounts in existing TFOCA II Jam Nut front panel openings
- MIL-DTL-83513 Micro D Connector for interface to Ethernet switches, routers or NIC's
- Options for 3.3, 12.0 or 28.0 VDC power supply inputs
The Mustang media converter's optical transmitters are high performance 1310nm FP Lasers or 850nm VCSEL's. The optical receivers consist of GaAs or InGaAs PIN and preamplifier assemblies and limiting post-amplifiers. The optical interface to the Mustang series Ethernet optical media converters is an Amphenol Fiber Systems International TFOCA II® connector enabling interconnection to preterminated TFOCA II based optical fiber cable assemblies. The electrical interface to the Mustang series optical media converters is a MIL-DTL-83513 Micro D connector enabling interconnection to Ethernet switches, routers or Network Interface Cards (NIC).
Designed to operate in harsh environments, these media converters feature excellent thermal characteristics, high tolerance to vibration and shock and corrosion resistant aluminum housings for exceptional EMI/RFI performance. Standard case operating temperature range is -40oC to +85oC, with a standard storage temperature range of -55oC to +100oC. The Mustang Series Ethernet optical media converters operate at link distances up to 10.0 Kilometers. All operate from +3.3, +12.0, or +28.0VDC power supplies. Protokraft's Mustang Series TFOCA II® Jam Nut Ethernet optical media converters are competitively priced compared to the typical pricing for discrete media converters designed for similar harsh environments. Small quantities are available now, with production quantities of all versions available during Q’4-2010.
