Ethernet Switch

The RFL 3000 4K-Series Ethernet Switches boost the performance of Ethernet LANs, with the flexibility of both twisted-pair and a bonus fiber port.

The “future-proof” fiber port is normally 100Mb speed with factory default setting to operate in full-duplex mode. Available 100Mb fiber connector types include multi-mode ST, SC, MV45 and MTRJ, and single-mode 20km or single-mode 40km “long reach” SC. Alternatively, for 10Mbfiber, a multi-mode half-duplex ST-type port option is available. The optional fiber port is normally configured and tested with the RFL 3000 4K8 unit in the factory, but may be configured in the field.

In common applications, groups of standard dual-speed 10/100hubs, 10Mb hubs, or 100Mb hubs and switches would form a series of subnets for workgroups or multi-system power users. Each subnet would be served by a separate switched port on a RFL 3000 4K8, and each of these subnets would have full 100Mb or 10Mb bandwidth, operating in either half-or full-duplex mode. Local traffic on one subnet, either 100Mb or 10Mb, is switch-isolated from the other subnets for high overall network performance.

RFL 3000 4K-Series Switches are easy to install and use. Addresses of attached nodes are automatically learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network changes and expansions to provide plug-and-play operation. “Reverse” models with front-mounted ports and LEDs, or with front-mounted LEDs, rear ports and power connection, are available.

The RFL 3000 4K-Series, with store-and-forward switching, filter all faulty packets to minimize traffic congestion and are non-blocking. RFL 3000 Model 4K8 Switches come in a convenient rack-mountable package; have a rugged metal case and an auto-ranging DC power supply, AC is also available. The new RFL 3000 4K-Series products are backed by a three-year warranty.
