  • Energy-efficient industrial Ethernet optical splitter

    Energy-efficient industrial Ethernet optical splitter

    With a simple Ethernet cable connected to your PoE++ Switch or injector, this Splitter can give up to 51 W to a non-PoE device in tough or industrial environments via your choice of output — a 2-pin terminal block or a DC jack — and still provide a gigabit network connection. It's a great choice. Output Volt-Amps (VA) is a measurement of electrical power and is used to size a UPS system for the equipment that will be connected to it. This allows non-PoE-capable Ethernet end devices (IP cameras, WLAN access points. ) to be connected to a PoE switch or other PSE and use their power. PoE injectors deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installations. With our high-quality PoE splitters, you can take advantage of PoE technology without having to run separate power cables. We offer a full spectrum of products, including L3/L2 Switch, PoE Products, EN50155 and E-Mark certified switches.

  • What is an Ethernet optical module

    What is an Ethernet optical module

    An Ethernet transceiver is an optoelectronic device used in Ethernet networks to convert electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa, enabling high-speed interconnection between switches, servers, and network interface cards(NIC). An optical module, also called fiber optic transceiver or optical transceiver, is a typically hot-pluggable device used in high-bandwidth data communications applications. They are used in fiber optic communication systems to transmit data over long distances with minimal loss and interference.


  • Ethernet Passive Optical Network Terminal ONU

    Ethernet Passive Optical Network Terminal ONU

    A passive optical network consists of an optical line terminal (OLT) at the service provider's central office (hub), passive (non-power-consuming) optical splitters, and a number of optical network units (ONUs) or optical network terminals (ONTs), which are near end users. There may be amplifiers between the OLT and the ONUs. Several fibers from an OLT can be carried in a single cable. A. OverviewA passive optical network (PON) is a telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment. In practice, PONs are typically used for the. Passive optical networks were first proposed by in 1987. Two major standard groups, the (IEEE) and the. A PON takes advantage of (WDM), using one wavelength for downstream traffic and another for upstream traffic on a (ITU-T, typically OS2). BPON, EP.
