• Provides one 10 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

For any user who needs a 10 Mb fibre link connected to one or two 10/100 copper devices, the “go anywhere” CSN14 Converter Switch™ is a versatile and handy solution.

The CSN14 family of Converter Switches, with a 10 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 offers the best price-to-value ratio for each user and installation. The compact package is ideal for “edge of the network” installation, and can be conveniently mounted to suit any application.

The CSN14 regular-package units are for office and indoor wiring closet environments. These are the economical base units in the CSN14 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° 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 CSN14H Hardened units are for factory floor applications. The CSN14H 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 CSN14P Premium-rated units are for temperature uncontrolled sheltered applications, typically located outdoors. The CSN14P models are built with premium-grade extended temperature components, and use similar thermal techniques (patent pending) as the CSN14H 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 CSN14P should be sheltered from the elements. Mounting options include stand-alone panel-mounting, DIN-rail, or rack-mount tray.

All CSN14 Converter Switch models come with two 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 CSN14 family of Converter Switches and other products are designed and manufactured in the USA and backed by a three-year warranty.
