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.

Interop "Best of Show Award" winning product 10G compatible media converter "LEX3881-2F"

The "LEX3881-2F" is a media converter that supports Ethernet OAM and is equipped with Link OAM/CFM OAM functionality. It achieves the world's smallest size as an Ethernet OAM-compatible media converter (Note 1). The "LEX3881-2F" simultaneously implements 1G/10G-SFP, allows for automatic speed detection, and features various functions such as changing from two fibers to one, extending distance through long-distance 10G-SFP with two implementations, and changing rates from 1G to 10G. Additionally, it operates within a temperature range of -10 to 55°C, covering a wide range of temperature conditions. It also includes a Dying Gasp function that remotely notifies of power outages, allowing for quick responses in case of failures. (*) Based on our research on standalone (single unit) gigabit media converters compatible with Ethernet OAM. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
