New iConverter® power-redundant chassis gives Enterprise and Telco data providers a reliable and space-efficient fiber conversion chassis.
COMNET 2003, Washington DC, January 27, 2003– Omnitron Systems Technology, Inc., the premier manufacturer of fiber media converters for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks, announced today at COMNET 2003 the release and immediate availability of the 5-Module Managed Power Chassis as part of its iConverter product family. The new 5-module chassis joins the current 19-module, 2-module and 1-module chassis types, thus increasing users’ options in selecting the optimal chassis for their application.
The 1U (1.75 inch) high, 5-Module Managed Power Chassis can be mounted in a 19-inch or 23-inch rack and features dual hot-swappable redundant AC or 48 VDC power supplies. The power supplies operate in load-sharing mode for fault tolerance and can be used in any combination.
When used with the iConverter management module, the power system reports the voltage, current and temperature of each power supply. Any out of range violation can be set to trigger an SNMP management alarm to allow quick corrective maintenance.
The high reliability of the dual-redundancy power system combined with its AC and 48 VDC power options make the 1U 5-module chassis the ideal choice in Point of Presence (POP), Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and Network Edge (NE) applications where reliability, modularity and space are critical.
The iConverter media converters provide copper to dual and single-fiber conversion for 10, 100, 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet as well as T1 and E1. They also provide multimode to single-mode and dual fiber to single fiber conversion for Ethernet, T1, E1, OC-3 and OC-12 technologies.
The iConverter products are in-band or out-of-band SNMP managed through Omnitron's NetOutlook™ stand-alone network management software or through any standard SNMP software like HP OpenView™. The management feature enables the network administrator to remotely monitor and configure the iConverter units or diagnose technical problems while minimizing the number of costly remote service calls. The management agent generates traps to report special events such as module insertion or removal, link up or down, and power and temperature range violations.
