Solving future bandwidth challenges

ComNet Europe is introducing the CNMCSFP variable rate electrical-to-optical media converter that allows the user to select between 10/100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps rate transmission, ensuring enough bandwidth for future upgrade to Gigabit bandwidth requirements or where there are many devices that have different bandwidth requirements.

The CNMCSFP is a single channel universal media converter that allows the user to select 10/100 Mbps transmission by changing the position of a switch on the media converter. ComNet designed this hardened media converter for applications where there is a potential upgrade to Gigabit transmission or as a universal media converter where different bandwidth consumption devices are planned. The CNMCSFP uses small form factor (SFP) devices, giving the user flexibility in terms of fibre type, connector type and distance.

According to Steve Clarke, ComNet Europe managing director, “This fibre optic media converter solves many challenges our customers face on a daily basis. We’ve found that many of our customers are looking to future-proof their projects. Fibre optic transmission gives an application an extreme level of flexibility in terms of available bandwidth. The CNMCSFP now adds to that. In effect, once the unit is in place, there is virtually no IP bandwidth requirement that cannot be accommodated using this product.”
