FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FiberPlex Exhibits New Dual Channel
10/100 Ethernet-to-Fiber Converter
— Single 19" rack package converts 10/100 Ethernet signals
to fiber optic transmit pairs —
121st AES CONVENTION, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October
6, 2006 — FiberPlex, Inc., the leading fiber optic supplier
to the professional audio industry, will be displaying the company’s
new LightViper™ EF-2, a Dual Channel 10/100 Ethernet-to-Fiber
Converter.
The 1U rack-mounting EF-2 will accept two (2) independent
channels of 10/100 Ethernet via two (2) standard RJ-45 connector/receptacles
and then convert the signals to two (2) fiber optic transmit/receive
pairs. It will operate in a choice of three (3) configurations: standard
Ethernet using Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) pairs (Standard mode);
two (2) channels of single direction Ethernet (TX-only); or as a combination
of both modes.
The EF-2’s operating modes may be easily changed
by a switch located on the rear of the unit. Because the EF-2 is a hardware
device, it ignores packet structure and data content, thus facilitating
transparent use with AVIOM’s Pro16 Monitor Mixing System™,
CobraNet™ and EtherSound™ networks as well as standard Ethernet
equipment.
Additionally, the EF-2 features an internal full-range,
auto-switching AC power supply and the option of being powered by an
external 9-18V DC supply. There are two fiber connection choices: (2)
x 2 ST Connectors or (1) x 4 Channel T-4 Hermaphroditic Connector.
FiberPlex includes a limited lifetime warranty with all
its LightViper Series products.
The suggested Professional Audio user price for the EF2-ST
is $919.00 and the EF-T4 is $1,437.00 with immediate availability.
