Secure Connections
For: VoIP Phone | Thin Client connections | Network Printers | Video Conferencing | Wireless access points
In today’s high speed, high bandwidth work environment, the need for fiber optic networks continues to grow. Fiber offers the speed, flexibility and security that your organization needs – today and for the future.
Using small, modular components is an easy way to design and install a network. Modular designs allow you to install everything at one time or to plan with easy to budget phases.
Fiber Connections Media Conversion & PoE Extension System was designed by Engineers who understand that every network has different needs. Each component is highly configurable which allows us to provide a solution that fits your needs exactly.
In Fiber to the Desk applications, the key is flexibility. The need to add, drop and change a network is part of the normal business cycle. The design of our slide in media modules at the equipment room end and the easy to install GatorLink design, make those changes as easy as possible. Our ability to take power over Ethernet well beyond the current 90 meter limitation using a unique hybrid (copper/fiber) cabling system eliminates the time and expense required to install power at new locations.
The security of fiber optics and the convenience of power over Ethernet, over extended distances, is a powerful combination.
Sample Network:
In this network example, a portion of a potentially larger network is shown. 1 power patch panel can support up to 11 x 4 or 6 port media conversion modules and the same number of remote GatorLinks at remote locations (depending on configurations). GatorLinks can be equipped with 1 to 6 ports.

System Components
Power Patch Panel – Holds up to 288 fibers and provides central media conversion and power to the entire network. Available in 2U and 4U sizes, each accepting slide in Power Supply and Media modules. 2U panel will accommodate up to 2 power supply modules and 4U will accommodate up to 3 which provides up to 500 and 750 watts of power respectively. Media Modules can be configured many different ways with respect to port count, fiber type, connector types and network speeds.
Hybrid cables – Fiber for data and copper for power – all in one easy to install package. Cables are available in various fiber/copper configurations and can be pre-terminated in our factory with various connector types. Some cable configurations can be terminated on site.
GatorLink – Brings media conversion and PoE to your remote devices. The GatorLink is available in many different configurations with respect to port count, fiber type, connector types and network speeds.
