Networking Accessories

Power Supplies, Patch Cables, Mounting Brackets, Fiber Adapters, and Racks

Industrial Ethernet switches are designed to meet specific data throughput requirements of applications found in security, energy monitoring, automation, and telecom services. Successfully integrating these networks will require you to invest in a few accessories. Often, an installation grinds to a halt due to the lack of a $5 part. Or, the inability to connect one device to another causes a frustrating delay. Fortunately, we offer high-quality products to support your networking devices. We offer AC to DC power supplies, cables, converters, gender changers, and more. Our full selection of the little things keeps your network in top shape. Additionally, it will resolve your connection issues, simplifying your life.

Mounting Kits

Mounting solutions for networking equipment come in a variety of styles, such as wall-mount, DIN-Rail mount, and 19” rackmount. The right bracket or kit for any nearly setup is available, ensuring that you’re never at a loss when it comes to installing and securing your media converters and Ethernet switches. For example, the DIN-RACK-2U bracket adapts DIN-rail mountable electronics to a standard 19” vertical cabinet. The simple mount stabilizes your equipment and allows it to be collocated with other rackmount equipment in the same cabinet.

Cables and Adapters

Cabling is primary to all networks. Even wireless devices require cables at some point. Whether you need an extension or a patch cord, you can get what you want at discount-friendly prices. Power, data, M12-type, and a host of other cable options are all available. We also offer fiber optic cables with a choice of length and ST, SC, and LC connectors.

Industrial-Grade Power Supplies

Every rack or control panel requires sufficient and reliable power. Our line of AC to DC power supplies ranges from 15 to 480 watts and outputs 12, 24, or 48 volts. They are secured to standard DIN-rails and provide substantial protection from power input irregularities, such as shorts, current overloads, overvoltages, and high temperatures. We also carry AC to DC adapters that mate to the power terminal block on our network devices.

Media Converter Accessories

With industrial networks, you often have to marry high-end fiber networks with other signals. Whether you’re incorporating legacy devices or trying to save on infrastructure costs, there are plenty of reasons to have multiple signal types in your network. That will force you to integrate media converters into the system. While that sounds good and well, media converters rarely do the whole job on their own. They need a supporting cast of accessories. Finding the right accessory for each setup is vital to having a stable, reliable, and efficient network.

Media Converter Powered Racks

Media converters need power, just like everything else. When you’re mounting your converters in a media rack, enclosures like Antaira’s FCU-RACK16 combine utility and efficiency. It works perfectly to secure and power up to sixteen signal converters. It offers hot-swappable, redundant power supplies to ensure your network remains operational. Plus, it supports load sharing. It’s an adaptive solution to combine media converter needs.
