Please take advantage of our instructional videos that demonstrate how our products operate in certain applications and allow you to become familiar with the VERSITRON product line. Videos are currently available for the following:

Fiber Network Switch Model SG24424M

This unit is essentially an “all fiber switch” that offers 24 SFP slots which the user can populate with either 100Base or 1000Base SFP fiber optic modules. The switch also offers 4 ports of 10/100/1000 copper Ethernet combo ports, which basically means that if you use 2 ports of copper Ethernet in an application, you would be able to use 22 of the fiber Ethernet slots instead of 24.

Advantages to using this switch:

• The switch can be used as a central network device. So if you have multiple fiber runs to many different locations varying distances away, you can create a “Star configuration” by bringing all of the fiber runs back to the central site where the SG24424M switch can be placed.
• Another advantage is that the switch accepts BOTH 100Base and 1000Base SFP fiber optic modules which allows you to connect legacy 100Base equipment and newer gigabit fiber technology all within the same central switch. So it would save you, as the customer, from upgrading older equipment at various locations. So by using our switch, it makes for a cleaner configuration. You would simply purchase an SFP module that is compatible with whatever fiber equipment you have at a remote location. So whether you are working with 100Base fiber or Gigabit fiber, this switch will allow you to consolidate both.
• The SG24424M also supports 10/100/1000 Copper SFP modules. So if you need more copper links in addition to the 4 copper Ethernet ports that are already present, you could simply purchase SFP copper modules and install those into the SFP slots and run cat5, cat6 cable to other Ethernet devices. We offer a wide variety of fiber and copper SFP modules for use with our many switch products.

Modular “Pick-A-Port” Switch Model SG71090

The pick-a-port switch is one of Versitron’s most flexible products because it allows the user to mix and match different modules for various applications. The switch chassis is model SG71090. It has 3 slot bays in the front which allow for the user to populate the switch with various modules for BOTH copper and fiber.
All of the modules are either 8-ports of copper, 8-ports of fiber, or a combination thereof. So therefore you can have a total of 24 ports of various combinations of copper and fiber. There are a total of 11 modules that can function together in the switch. So there are endless combinations that can be used. Some of the modules even have copper and fiber within the same module.

Gigabit Fiber Media Converter Model M7260A

The model M7260A gigabit fiber media converter will handle 10/100 or 1000Base gigabit speed on the Ethernet side of the link. The unit will auto-sense the speed of your network and convert that speed to gigabit fiber using SFP modules. This media converter offers much flexibility because you can install various fiber SFP modules for multimode or singlemode applications.
So let’s say you have an application where you want to convert 100Base Ethernet to gigabit speed over multimode fiber at a remote location. So you just connect your Ethernet cable to the M7260A, then install the appropriate SFP multimode module, and connect your fiber.
Now let’s say you have another remote site that’s further away and you have to use singlemode fiber cable to this location. What you would do is, once again, connect your Ethernet cable to the triple duty media converter, but then you would install a singlemode SFP module, and then connect your fiber.
This is the advantage of the SFP technology because you can use multimode and singlemode modules interchangeably in the same media converter.
It is VERY important that you have the SAME SFP module at BOTH ends of the fiber link to ensure compatibility. So for example if you have a gigabit switch at central site and the M7260A media converter at a remote site, you want to have the same SFP module in the M7260A that is in the central switch so that both units can communicate seamlessly.

Industrial Media Converters

These media converters are designed to be used in extremely harsh environmental conditions. These rugged units can operate in extended temperature ranges of -20 to +70 Celsius. So in other words, about -4 Fahrenheit to 158 degrees Fahrenheit.
Like our standard media converters we offer Industrial media converters in 10/100 Base and 1000Base gigabit. The 10/100 Base units have either 1 or 2 fiber ports which allow the user to daisy chain the units together or connect to other fiber devices more easily. These units are offered for both multimode and singlemode.
We also offer a 1000Base gigabit unit which is our model MF7250. This device will handle ONLY 1000Base speed over Ethernet and also uses the SFP modules for fiber connectivity.

PoE Media Converters

VERSITRON offers a variety of PoE and PoE+ Ethernet to Fiber Media Converters. PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) technology permits electrical current to be carried over data cables in order to provide power to network devices. This reduces the number of cables required in a network configuration and simplifies installation.  With PoE, power is carried over a regular Cat5e or Cat 6 networking cable using a standard RJ45 connector. PoE is ideal for powering network IP cameras, phones, wireless access points, network routers, etc. There are 2 types of PoE networking devices: PD or power dependent and PSE or Power Source Equipment. A PoE power dependent, PD device, obtains its power from the data port.  It cannot provide PoE power to another device. A PoE power source equipment, PSE device, provides POE power to other network devices.  For example, a PoE PSE switch would provide power to a PoE power dependent IP camera.

CCTV Analog Video to Fiber Converters

Our video to fiber devices are used typically wherever there are CCTV analog cameras present such as casinos, correctional facilities, military bases, or even your local gas station. These units work in pairs with the transmitter being placed at the camera side of the fiber link and the receiver being placed at the monitoring end of the link. Our units do not alter your video signal in any way. They are strictly taking your video signal and converting it to fiber, thereby securing the link from your camera to the monitor. All of our video to fiber devices employ broadcast quality video transmission. The transmitter and receiver are units are powered by standard 120VAC to 5VDC wall brick style power adapters. The main advantage of using our 4-channel multiplexer is that it allows you to run multiple cameras over just 1 strand of fiber. We also have 8 and 16 channel multiplexers as well that allow you to multiplex 8 and 16 cameras respectively. But if you have just 1 camera that you need to convert, we also offer a 1-channel video device as well.

Video Distribution Amplifiers

These products are designed to distribute both video and audio inputs to multiple outputs of the same. So for example, our model VDA1632A handles a total of 16 CCTV video inputs and 32 video outputs. The device uses a built-in amplifier to boost the video signal to the required level to prevent loss and degradation. The VDA units are used with CCTV cameras but are also compatible with any other CCTV equipment that has standard BNC connections as well as any other VersiVision equipment. For an example of a real world application, our Video Distribution VDA1632A Products are currently in use on drill ships which are merchant vessels used for exploratory off shore drilling of new oil and gas wells. These vessels are used in deep water and ultra deep water applications and are equipped with the latest and most advanced dynamic positioning systems.

52-Port PoE/PoE+ Switch Model SG75270MP

In the VERSITRON “family” of PoE switches, this device is the largest, most versatile switch that we offer. It has 48-ports of 10/100/1000Base PoE/PoE+ Copper ports with RJ45 connections. The total power capacity for PoE is 740 watts across all 48 ports. So what this means is that if you are using standard PoE, each port will provide 15.5 watts of power. If you are using PoE+, this will require 30 watts per port. So therefore, you would be able to utilize a total of 24 ports for PoE+ capability. You can also use a combination of PoE and PoE+ devices connected to this switch. The switch also boasts the latest in Fiber optic SFP technology by supporting both 1Gigabit and 10Gigabit SFP modules. This device is ideal for applications where multiple IP cameras are present at a remote location that has no power source and that also need to be monitored from another location a certain distance away. A user could connect 48 PoE IP cameras to the SG75270MP and then run 1Gigabit or 10Gigabit fiber to the monitoring location.
