Description
EFTT1003 Fault Tolerant Transceiver (FTT) has an RJ45 to connect to the network device and two RJ45s for user selectable primary and secondary cable segments. The FTT hunts between these two segments to ensure that data can be transmitted at all times because the user has now added a fault tolerant redundant path. These two segments can be connected to a second EFTT1003 or to two ports of a standard 100BaseTX Hub, 10/100TX Hub or Switch. The added insurance of dual power supply inputs makes the EFTT1003 the first choice of MIS professionals with critical applications.
The user selectable parameter options, half or full duplex, segment A or B priority, hunt or no hunt & transceiver to transceiver or transceiver to hub. These make this unit exceptionally flexible and ideal for many different applications.
Power supplies are available for ether 110 VAC or 230 VAC.
Monitoring of the unit is simple with a complement of 10 LEDs that display LK (link) and REC (receive) on each RJ45, ENBL (enable) on segments A & B, global COL (collision) and PWR (power).
Each RJ45 connector has its own crossover switch allowing installation with standard twisted pair cables and eliminating the need for bothersome cross over cables.
