P80F
FEATURES
- The Personal Switch™, provides up to eight 10/100 switched RJ-45 ports, for servers or for users P80F models provide a 100Mb fibre backbone port built in, no media converter needed
- Compact office-size desktop packaging brings future- proof fibre backbone connectivity to the workplace
- Fast Ethernet fibre connectors may be multi-mode SC, ST, MTRJ, or single-mode (either 20km or 40km “long-reach”) SC type
- Comes with a durable metal enclosure, metal mounting clips, and an external power supply
The P80-series Personal Switch™ provides the performance of a 100Mb switched fibre link upstream, coupled with the convenience of switched 10/100 copper ports for workplace LAN connections, all in one compact unit about the size of a paperback book. It is designed for “fibre-to-the-workplace” applications. Where “future-proof” fibre cabling is installed in the building infrastructure to a wall plate or jack in each office, lab, classroom or small workgroup area, the P80-series enables 10/100 copper-cable devices to be economically connected. No media converter is required.
In a typical application, a P80 Personal Switch is used in an individual’s multi-system office, or to support a small workgroup, a remote office, or a classroom. The P80F and P80C 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. Flow control maximizes throughput across all ports. Top-mounted LEDs provide status information on each port.
A P80F Personal Switch has one full-duplex 100Mb switched fibre port, and seven switched 10/100 full/half auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports. While the switched fibre port is typically for a backbone connection, the switched RJ-45 ports can be used for a high-performance workplace server, power users, or to cascade to another P80-series unit for expansion. The P80Fs 100Mb fibre port supports full distance fibre LAN cabling to a wiring closet switch upstream. The fibre port is available with a multi-mode ST, SC, or MTRJ-type connector, or with a single-mode SC-type (to support either 20 or 40 kilometres). For applications where the fibre port is not needed, the P80C model substitutes an N-way copper port for the fibre port.
The P80-series Personal Switches include an external power supply unit for either 115 or 230vac, a rugged metal case and metal mounting brackets suitable for wall mounting. The P80-series Personal Switches and the other high quality products are backed by a three-year warranty.
