A modular chassis capable of accommodating up to 20 line cards for Ethernet OAM-compatible media converters.

The "LEX3020" is a 2U high, 19-inch rack-mounted chassis that can accommodate up to 20 media converters from the LEX3000 series. The chassis features a special insertion and removal structure in its slots, allowing the line card to tilt to the right when the screws are loosened during removal, causing the card to protrude forward. This design enables smooth insertion and removal of cards and prevents the loss of screws. Additionally, a tray for managing excess fiber lengths is incorporated at the bottom of the slots.

The "NC1G Series" media converter enables the construction of networks for offices, factories, schools, and more at a low cost.

The NC1G series (AC Type) is a media converter that converts between 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X. The link supports only auto-negotiation and, while being cost-effective, is equipped with LFP (Link Fault Pass-Through) functionality. In the event of a link disconnection, it automatically disconnects the other link, which helps in identifying the cause of failures. This product features one 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 port and one 1000BASE-X SFP port, and it uses the included AC adapter for power. The SFP slot is fixed for implementation, and there are three models available: one with a 1000BASE-SX SFP, one with a 1000BASE-LX SFP, and one with a single-fiber bidirectional (LC or SC) configuration. The single-fiber bidirectional model should be used in pairs, with one operating at 1310nm (Type A) and the other at 1550nm (Type B). For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

We have started offering the latest version 1.1.0 of the "Blink Detection SDK," which detects blinking from the state of eye opening and closing using only a PC's webcam or a smartphone camera. The face detection model has been updated to the lightweight and fast YuNet, and it supports usage from C#/.NET (verified to work with .NET 8). The same version is provided across four platforms: Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, and it includes eight sample applications for each platform. It can process quickly using only the CPU without the need for a GPU, making it useful for integration into products and services for features like eye strain prevention alerts and touchless operations. A one-month free trial version (SDK/Windows app/smartphone app) is available.

Solar power generation is entering an era of choices: "connect or use freely"— Have you given up on introducing solar power generation, or are you thinking, "I want to implement it more smoothly"? "Installation constraints," "huge costs," "prolonged procedures"... While discussions on introducing self-consumption solar power generation are progressing towards decarbonization and BCP measures, more companies are facing issues with negotiations and construction delays with power companies. In this webinar, we will introduce how to achieve self-consumption as planned by utilizing "off-grid (non-grid-connected)" systems that do not rely on power companies, along with the latest case studies. We invite you to participate as part of your information gathering. For those considering the introduction of solar power generation, please join us! ◆ Registration for the session on October 27 (Tuesday) at 14:00 https://ner-webinar.v2.nex-pro.com/campaign/98247/apply ◆ Registration for the session on October 29 (Thursday) at 14:00 https://ner-webinar.v2.nex-pro.com/campaign/98248/apply
