Product Description
Now you can break the distance
barrier of Ethernet based Local Area Networks and achieve total
system safety from electrical interference and surges. The addition
of a pair of Model 373's allows your LAN to be extended to a
distance of 2KM, (over 1 mile). Thus LAN's can be spread to other
buildings and facilities. When this is attempted with coax wires and
repeaters there is usually concern with electrical interference from
other equipment, ground loops, surges and lightning which may strike
in the vicinity of the cable link. These potential problems all
disappear with the Model 373 LAN-Spreader since the connection
between the server and workstations is fiber optic cable which is
impervious to all of these disturbances. The full duplex signals of
the 10Base-T port are converted to optical signals and driven over
fiber cables. The Model 373 is powered from an AC adapter.
A group of five LED's provide indication of Fiber Optic Link
Monitor, Twisted-Pair Link Monitor, Collision, Traffic and Power. An
SQE switch ensures compatibility with both old and new Ethernet
adapters by allowing the user to enable or disable the SQE Heartbeat
option.
