Aside from 2 Gigabit fiber optic/copper combo ports, the EKI-7626C comes
equipped with 16 x 10/100Base-T(X) fast Ethernet ports and 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 (< 100 m), or the
appropriate replaceable SFP module can be used for the application of wideband
uploading and long distance transmissions to fit the field request flexibly.
Also, the long MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) ensures that the
EKI-7626C/7629C will continue to operate until a Gigabit network infrastructure
has been established, without requiring any extra upgrade costs. EKI-7626C/7629C
includes a switch controller that can automatically sense transmission speeds
(10/100Mbps) 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 betransmitted properly. Furthermore, the power line of
EKI-7626C/7629C supports up to 3,000 VDC surge (EFT) protection, which secure
equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems safer and more reliable.
