EKI-2741 is designed to convert Gigabit Ethernet networks to Gigabit fiber
networks by transparently converting Ethernet signals to optic signals.
Therefore, EKI-2741 is an ideal solution for “fiber to building” applications at
central offices or local sites. EKI-2741 supports MDI/MDIX auto detection, so
you don’t need to use crossover wires. Furthermore, the EKI-2741 accepts a wide
voltage range from +12 ~ 48 VDC. Besides, it also provides 3,000 VDC surge (EFT)
protection against over-voltage, so it is suitable for harsh operating
environments. EKI-2741 is an enhanced gigabit Ethernet to fiber optic converter.
Aside from its standard features, the versatile EKI-2741 also has the LFP (Link
Fault Pass-through) feature. When one side of the link fails, the other side
continues transmitting packets, and waiting for a response that never arrives
from the disconnected side. EKI-2741 will force the link to shut down as soon as
noticed that the other link has failed, giving the application software a chance
to react to the situation.
