Fiber to the desktop applications are increasing as people become more aware of all the benefits that fiber can provide. For example, a single LAN node can easily be extended to remote locations as far away as 100km on fiber optic cable when operating in a full duplex configuration. The use of fiber also increases the bandwidth. As a result even more data can be transmitted over these increased distances. Furthermore, the security of fiber can not be disputed. Originally used during the cold war, fiber is very difficult to tap into and is immune to EMI/RFI. Weather issues and other spark hazards are eliminated with the use of fiber.

VERSITRON offers an extensive fiber optic LAN networking product line. Included in this line are 10/100 "Double Duty" Selectable Media Converters,10/100/1000 "Triple Duty" media converters, 1000BaseT SX-LX, single fiber media converters, several ethernet switch "flavors", and a network interface card as well as a variety of storage options.

The N7013X fiber optic network interface card offers easy installation and flexible options. 3 types of connectors are available with a choice of either multimode or singlemode. You can also enjoy "seamless" communication as your data is sent and received at the same time at the rate of 200Mbps. This product also complies with 802.3u 100Base-FX standard and complies with PCI specifications 2.0 or later and has a PCI bus clock speed range of 25 to 33 Mhz.

VERSITRON'S 10/100 "Double Duty" media converters will allow you to customize your network at the flick of a switch. Choose between 10/100 auto-sensing, 10base fixed,or 100base fixed. This product will allow you to get 100base speeds over your 10base network! (once your 10Base signal is converted) A choice of multimode or singlemode is available with several connector options. The 10/100/1000 "Triple Duty" media converters sport GBIC module technology, and give you 1000Base speeds on the fiber side for inputted copper signals of 10BaseT, 100BaseTX or 1000Base T.

If you are looking for rackmount options, please take a look at our 16 slot chassis which will hold up to 16 standalone media converters with full power supply redundance and management. This chassis option will work for all VERSITRON media converters.

If you need to keep f.o. cable costs down, VERSITRON'S single fiber media converter could be the answer. This product is able to transmit and receive over one f.o. cable, cutting your cable bill in half! And don't forget our 1000Base media converter. If 1000Base is all you need, this will be the most cost effective solution for you.

You can double your traffic flow, boost network speed and provide f.o. links for your 10Base and 100Base networks simultaneously with our line of ethernet switches. Choose from 5 port, 8 port, 16 port, 24 port, and for the ultimate in flexibility, the gigabit "pick a port" modular switch. These products offer:

• Management
• Web Management
• GBIC Technology
• Distances to 50 km
• Choice of singlemode or multimode
• Full Transparency
• Several Connector Options
• Gigabit Uplinks
• IEEE Standards
