Fiber Backbone, Multiplexers and Industrial Ethernet Switch

Fiber Backbone is built for harh environments and integrates Data, Telephone, Ethernet PDH, Teleprotection (G.703 & C37.94) in one unit.

Multiplexers can extend network signals up to 100km for T1 over OC3 connecting to a SONET backbone, linking cell towers or campus connectivity.

Industrial Ethernet Switch have Built-In Power & Temperature Monitoring and can run in outdoor environments in -40°C to 80°C. Our Rugged Ethernet Switches are Modular and run at Gigabit (1GB) Speeds. Useful for combining multiple interfaces to run over a single backbone switch
