Model ETP1010 10BaseT
Fault Tolerant Transceiver

Features and Benefits

Product Description

The ETP1010 is an Ethernet* Fault Tolerant Transceiver, that offers a level of connectivity protection for your network. The ETP1010 allows you to replace a single segment of cable, between two network devices, with two segments of cable placed through different geographical paths, to ensure data transfer protection should one cable be faulty, cut, damaged or pulled. That means to say the chances of your network segment going down due to accidental damage are halved. The ETP1010 is equipped with one AUI port and two RJ45s with a an automatic hunt feature between the UTP channels.

Applications

The fault tolerant function makes this unit ideal for medical, banking, industrial control, security and military applications where signal integrity is essential.

Application Information

Diagram
Diagram		The ETP1010 can be used to install two cables between a server and two ports on a hub or two separate hubs on the same backbone, allowing for a fault tolerant redundant path.

Two ETP1010s can be used for installation of a redundant path cable. Both will be transmitting and receiving data, but for simplification, let's just look at the data going in one direction. The transmitting unit will always pass data on both channels, the receiving unit only does so on one channel and when this channel samples inactivity it automatically flips to the other channel.

Note: Using our Model EMC02 UTP to Fiber media converters on one or both of the channels, allows a large increase in the segment length, by allowing twisted pair cabling to link with a Fiber segment. Our media converters also have the advantage that they do not add a logical repeater count, and they are specially cased to enable wall mounting.
