KTI Networks KSD-103-A Series, KSD-103-B Series Introduction, Plug and Play, Industrial Features

1.Introduction

The industrial rated KSD-103 Fast Ethernet switch series supports three switching-base segment communications and benefit the following applications and make fiber deployment easier :

Copper to fiber bridging converter

Multimode fiber to single mode fiber bridging converter Fiber cable extender

Cascaded fiber networking

Depending on the types of the network ports, two different model series are defined as follows:

Model	Copper Port (RJ-45)	Fiber Port
KSD-103-A	2 ports	1 port
KSD-103-B	1 port	2 ports

The switch also provide the following advantages:

Plug and Play

No configuration is required in using the switches. With the featured auto-negotiation function, the switches can detect and configure the connection speed and duplex automatically for the copper ports. The switches also provide auto MDI/MDI-X function, which can detect the connected cable and switch the transmission wire pair and receiving pair automatically. This auto-crossover function can simplify the type of network cables used.

Industrial Features

For industrial environment, the devices are designed with the following enhanced features exceeding that of commercial Ethernet switches:
