Taipei, Taiwan, Mar. 2006—Moxa, a world-class manufacturer of industrial Ethernet products, recently launched a new series of entry-level Industrial Media Converters. The IMC-21 series, which provides an economic solution for Industrial Ethernet to fiber conversion, consists of entry-level 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX and 10BaseT to 10BaseFL media converters. The converters are specially designed for reliable and stable operation in harsh industrial environments, such as machine manufacturing, factory automation, and building automation.IMC-21 is a cost-effective solution that runs on either a 12 to 45 VDC power input or 18 to 30 VAC power input.
IMC-21 can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -10 to 60°C, and the rugged hardware design helps ensure that your Ethernet equipment can withstand demanding industrial conditions. Furthermore, IMC-21’s “Link Fault Pass Through” feature can force the link to shut down as soon as it notices that the other link has failed, giving the application software a chance to react.
