Connection of end devices over long distances with very low latency

eks Engel

EKS Engel presents the new media converters e-light-1000-XSG-SFP and e-light-100-XS-SFP. These compact and robust devices, which support Gigabit or Fast Ethernet and are available with or without PoE function, each have an electrical RJ45 and an SFP port that can be flexibly equipped with transceivers for single and multimode fibers.

Transmission distances of up to 20 km can be achieved - versions for even longer distances are available on request. Because the data packets are transmitted bit for bit, a latency of <500 ns is guaranteed regardless of their length. This means that the media converters are also suitable for real-time protocols such as VARAN or SERCOS. 

The application scenarios include, in particular, the connection of remotely positioned end devices such as controls, HMIs, drives or IP cameras to a local network. So that they can also be supplied with voltage directly via the Ethernet cable, the PoE variants provide a power of up to 90 W in accordance with IEEE 802.3bt.
