Fiber Connectivity for Missile Systems

This application example shows how to connect a single fiber link to a copper RJ-45 port on a missile system.  Fiber is run from a fiber switch in a control room to missile system, where a miConverter Miniature Media Converter provides copper to fiber conversion.  The miConverter has a compact form factor that can easily be integrated into other systems, and is temperature hardened for outdoor deployments.

Extend Serial Communications Distances to Radar Installations

The iConverter X21 serial to fiber converter enables controlling radar installations from remote distances by extending X21 and serial 530 Crypto Circuits over Fiber to SATCOM Antennas and Radar Installations. The iConverter X21 supports fiber links of up to 120km over single-mode fiber, and is wide temperature hardened for extreme environments.

Extend Distances to Targets in Digital Training Ranges

This application example illustrates how Omnitron Copper-to-Fiber Media Converters enable fiber connectivity to targets in a digital training range. The network can be Fast or Gigabit Ethernet, the fiber can be dual or single-fiber.

A high-density chassis of media converters enables up to 18 fiber runs from an Ethernet switch with RJ-45 ports in the control tower to digital target sensors on a training range.

At the end of each fiber run a standalone media converter converts the fiber to copper for connectivity to the digital target. The NEMA enclosure provides weather-proof durability, and Omnitron media converters are hardened with an operating temperature range of -40 to +85^oC for deployments in severe environments.

Omnitron’s iConverter Managed Media Converters, FlexPoint Unmanaged Media Converters, or miConverter Miniature Media Converters can be deployed in this application.
