SFP
How are SFP Modules Used with Industrial Network Switches?
In reviewing today’s industrial network switches, one of the features that stand out are built-in SFP slots accompanying the standard RJ45 ports. SFP is short for Small Form-factor Pluggable, and it’s been an industry workhorse for nearly two decades. As a standardized network interface, SFP technology enables switches with SFP module slots and ports to connect to network components, either optically or electrically, at distances up to 160km (99.4 miles).
Omnitron Launches Enterprise And Industrial PoE Fiber Switches
Omnitron Systems introduced its managed and unmanaged RuggedNet™ industrial PoE fiber switches and OmniConverter™ enterprise PoE fiber switches that enable fiber optic distance extension to PoE and PoE+ powered devices. Both the RuggedNet and OmniConverter PoE fiber switches feature four or eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports capable of delivering 15.4W PoE or 30W PoE+ to all ports, and one or two fiber Gigabit ports.
Transition Networks Launches Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Media Converters With Small Form-Factor Pluggable Optics
