- Provides one 100 Mb fibre port and two 10/100 copper switch ports
- Two RJ-45 ports support IEEE 802.3u to enable attaching any 10 Mb or 100 Mb device
- Three models for three application environments
- AC power for all models, Factory floor and Outdoor models also have integral DC terminal blocks
- Same packaging and mounting options as the popular 14-Series Media Converters
Combine a 100 Mb fibre converter and a two-port 10/100 copper Switch, and you have a converter switch, the new flexible edge-of-the-network Ethernet product. Add in fibre port choices for all multi-mode and single-mode fibre connector types plus AC or DC input power selection and multiple application environments, and you have the CS14 Converter Switch™.
The CS14 family of Converter Switches with a 100 Mb fibre port built in covers the full range of application environments, with regular (office), Hardened (factory floor), and Premium-rated (outdoor) versions. Extra features for heavy-duty and extended temperature operation ranges are included selectively in the Hardened factory-floor and Premium-rated outdoor models. This selection of models and fibre port types offers the best price-to-value ratio for each user and installation. Where a Media Converter might have been used, a Converter Switch offers a better value. The compact package is ideal for network edge installations, and is able to be conveniently mounted to suit any application.
The CS14 regular-package units are for office and indoor wiring closet environments. These are the economical base units in the CS14 Switch family. An external AC power supply for either North America (-d, 115vac 60Hz) or international (-I, 230vac, 50Hz) is included. The ambient temperature rating is 0°C to 40°C, office grade. A robust metal case with convection cooling is featured. Metal mounting clips are included, and rack-mount tray options are available. The CS14H Hardened units are for factory floor applications.
The CS14H models are built with high-grade components and are constructed using special thermal techniques (patent pending) and a metal case for heavy duty industrial jobs. In addition to a Hardened AC power option and jack, terminals for internal DC power choices at 8 to15V, 24V or -48V DC are included. The ambient temperature rating is for industrial use. No internal air flow is required for cooling, so it resists dust, dirt, moisture, smoke and insects. Mounting options include stand-alone panel-mounting, DIN-Rail, or rack-mount tray.
The CS14P Premium-rated units are for temperature uncontrolled applications, typically located outdoors. The CS14P models are built with premium- grade extended temperature components, and use similar thermal techniques (patent pending) as the CS14H Hardened units. In addition to a Premium rated AC power option and jack, terminals for internal DC power choices at 8 to15V, 24V or -48V DC are included. When used outdoors, the CS14P should be protected from falling rain. Mounting options include stand-alone panel-mounting, DIN-rail, or rack-mount tray.
All CS14 Converter Switch models come with two (2) sets of LED indicators. One set is on the front for viewing convenience when the unit is wall-mounted, and one LED set is mounted in the end adjacent to the ports for easy viewing when units are in a rack-mount tray. The CS14 family of Converter Switches and other products are designed and manufactured in the USA and backed by a three-year warranty.
