Aside from 2 Gigabit fiber optic/copper combo ports, the EKI-7629C comes
equipped with 8 x 10/100Base-TX fast Ethernet ports. Traditional RJ-45 ports can
be used for uplinking wide-band paths in short distance(< 100m), or the
appropriate replaceable SFP module can be used for the application of wide band
uploading and long distance transmissions to fit the field request flexibly.
Also, the long MTBF (Mean Time Betwen Failures) ensures that the EKI-7629C wii
continue to operate until a Gigabit network infrastructure has been established,
without requiring any extra upgrade costs. EKI-7629C includes a switch
controller that can automatically sense transmission speeds (10/100 Mbps) The
RJ-45 interface can also be auto-detected, so MDI or MDI-X is automatically
selected and a cross-over cable is not required. All Ethernet ports have memory
buffers that support the store-and -forward mechanism, which assures that data
can be transmitted properly. Furthemore, the power line of EKI-7629C supports up
to 3,000 VDC surge(EFT) protection, which secure equipment against unregulated
voltage and make systems safer and more reliable.
