Ethernet extenders

Ethernet extenders are devices designed to extend the range of your existing Ethernet network. Our Ethernet extenders allow the transmission of data beyond 100m (328ft), which is the general maximum cable length for copper Ethernet cables.

Serial extenders

Serial extenders enable the extension of serial signals over long distances using Ethernet, fibre or wireless. Our selection of serial extenders ensure serial communication can be maintained across extended distances.

Media converters

Media converters and fibre media converters are used to connect different types of devices, cables or networks. They convert signals from one type of network media to another, e.g. copper (Ethernet) to fibre optic, extending the network reach and improving performance. We offer a variety of media and fibre converters designed to convert and extend various types of data signals throughout your network.
