The rugged Stratos T2 Series media converterfrom Cinch Connectivity Solutions can now be sourced through Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high-rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial. The components are designed to provide seamless conversion between electrical and optical signals while maintaining high data throughput and durability in mission-critical applications like oil and gas, fire and rescue, security, shipboard as well as tactical and military communications.
The Stratos T2 Series is a two-channel optical transceiver and media converter, with each channel supporting up to 1000 Mbps Ethernet, enabling a combined 2 Gbps link over fiber between connected devices. The system ensures stable, high-speed communication across demanding environments where traditional networking equipment cannot perform.
The optical interface utilizes a TFOCA-II four-channel connector and supports a wide range of optical wavelengths and fibre modes. On the electrical side, the modular design offers flexibility with either a rugged MIL circular connector or RJ45 PoE mag-jacks, allowing easy integration into a variety of system architectures.
The Stratos T2 Series media converters are qualified to MIL-STD-810 standards for environmental durability, including resistance to temperature variation, thermal shock, vibration, mechanical shock, humidity, and altitude. The products are also FCC Class A compliant and feature both internal and external EMI sealing to ensure reliable operation in electrically noisy environments.
