Ethernet to fiber-optic interface
requirements
In cases where the profiler-to-PC separation is greater than 100 meters, but an Ethernet switch is
not desired, a fiber-optic media converter can be used. The FlexPoint GX from Omnitron Systems
(www.omnitron-systems.com) converts GigE to fiber transmission and vice versa. It supports
multimode (MM) fiber over distances of up to 220 m (720 ft.) and single-mode (SM) fiber up to
65 km (40 mi.) with SC, MT-RJ, or LC connector types.
The inclusion in this manual of GigE to fiber-optic converters does not guarantee they
will meet specific application requirements or performance.
The user must evaluate any supplemental Ethernet equipment.
