Versa Technology is proud to announce that we will now be helping businesses convert their Ethernet networks into fiber networks with our new micro-media converter series. Our micro-media converters boast a small form factor ideal for tight spaces. These units support 100FX, 100 FX SFP, or 1000 FX SFP interfaces in Fast Ethernet (FE) and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) networking environments.
Long-Distance Solutions
Large enterprise environments and small businesses can now leverage the speed of fiber with our micro media converters.
Our SC Fiber models support distances between 2 km and 20 km distances. Our FX SFP models can reach even farther distances up to a maximum of 120 km.
Refer to our sister sites’ collection of SFP modules for a full list of SFP modules that support a variety of different distances and wavelengths. These units allow network administrators to truly customize their networks whether they’re supporting 100BASE-T or 1000BASE-T Ethernet networks.
Industrial vs. Hardened
Versa technology offers a selection of industrial and hardened micro-media converter units that can reliably withstand high operating temperatures. Our industrial units support temperature ranges between -10 to 60°C while our hardened units support even wider-temperature ranges between -40 to 75°C.
Industrial Models:
- VX-200M-1212-2 Industrial Micro 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Ethernet Media Converter
- VX-200M-2222-20 Industrial Micro 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Ethernet Single Mode Media Converter
- VX-200M-X3 Industrial Micro 1000Base-T to 1000Base SFP Ethernet Media Converter
Hardened Models:
- VX-200MT-X2 Hardened Micro 100Base-t to 100Base SFP Ethernet Media Converter
- Vx-200MT-X3 Hardened Micro 1000Base-T to 1000Base SFP Ethernet Media Converter
Our industrial micro-media converters have been especially designed to withstand the extreme temperature and electrical demands typical of industrial environments.
Plug-and-Play Installation
These industrial micro media converters make it simple to convert an Ethernet network into a fiber network. These units boast a plug and play installation making it simple for network administrators to upgrade their network to fiber.
Simplify Cable Management
Network administrators deploying a series of slim profile micro-media converters might want to consider the VX-R10 Micro Media Converter 19” 1U Rack (Tray) to simplify cable management.
This rack (tray) eliminates the need to individually connect power adapters to a series of micro-media converters. Simply connect a 12B Power Adapter to the Media Converter 19” 1U Rack (Tray) to power a series of micro media units.
These units offer a plug-and-play installation with hot swappable capabilities further facilitating the installation of a series of micro media converters.
Upgrade to Fiber Security
Optical fiber is a light-based technology and is more difficult to hack than Ethernet-based networks. Unlike Ethernet, fiber doesn’t radiate transmission signals making it extremely difficult to tap.
In the rare case that a fiber connection is tapped, light leakage will cause an entire system to fail. Network administrators can further secure their fiber networks by setting an alarm to go off when such a failure occurs. Networks that carry sensitive information such as military and government sites rely on fiber connectivity for its security and speed.
