Request InfoMethode Electronics Inc.Methode Electronics Inc. has developed the new MDB-9 Gigabit Optical Extender, a high-performance copper-to-optical converter for bidirectional communication over single- or multimode fiber. The previous limit of 25 m in copper connections can be extended to 500 m on 50-µm multimode fiber at 1.0625 GBd. The system's low-laser-output power allows the extender to be used in arbitrated loop applications for constant communication transmission and data receiving. The device's standard DB-9 electrical interface facilitates connection to the back of a workstation, and the SC duplex optical...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaWEBINARSPhotonics.com 7/22/2021STANDARDS UPDATE: Vision Standards: An Overview of Global and A3 DevelopmentsStandards play a key role in the vision and imaging industry by ensuring interoperability of components, increasing market size, and shortening the time it takes to get new products to market.
