 Product Highlights:
  • Converts RJ45 copper to fiber optic, or vice versa
  • Two 10/100BaseTX auto-detecting RJ45 ports
  • One 100BaseFX fiber optic port
  • Truly rugged design with -40 to 85°C operation
  • Ideal for real-time industrial use
  • Plug & play simplicity
  • Direct DC powered - no bulky adapter needed!
  • Compact, low-profile packaging that fits in tight spaces and shallow enclosures
 Overview:
 

Add a fiber optic port to any existing Ethernet installation.The ET-GT-3ES industrial Ethernet media converter connects your 10/100BaseTX line to 100BaseFX fiber, or vice versa. This allows you to extend your Ethernet network up to 120 km using high speed and noise immune fiber optics. Like all SIXNET products, this converter is designed for tough industrial environments and will operate from -40 to +85 degrees C. In addition, an extra RJ45 port provides an additional Ethernet port, so the original direct Ethernet connection to your equipment is still available.

The ET-GT-3ES is built upon SIXNET industrial Ethernet unmanaged switch technology. Intelligent message routing avoids collisions and reduces network loading. This advanced converter allows you to increase the throughput of your real-time systems and achieve deterministic results.

 
Fiber optics increase distance and reliability.
Fiber optic cables are absolutely immune to electrical and magnetic interference. Fiber optics cannot be damaged by voltage transients. You will never spend time tracking down a ground loop in a fiber optic network. This is because an optical cable is not an electrical device. Fiber optic cabling not only enhances reliability, it saves all the time you might have spent tracking down those nasty communications problems. In addition, fiber cables increase the allowable direct cable lengths up to 120 km.
