Patton Electronics is one of the best-known manufacturers of industrial networking equipment. Their award-winning products empower network engineers and admins to build powerful, versatile, reliable networks that simultaneously solve many problems. The Patton name is trusted for durability and efficiency. It’s a name that adds confidence to any project. When you need durable tools for your next industrial network, look at the variety of products engineered by Patton.
Ethernet is still one of the most common connection types in any network. Its convenience is imminent and makes it a vital part of network design. The drawback is that Ethernet lines struggle when they run longer than 100 meters. If you need Ethernet to reach farther distances, get Ethernet extenders. Patton extenders, like the CopperLink 2110, expand your Ethernet range several times over. They make network design straightforward and more accommodating, and they save you money by preventing the need for total infrastructure overhauls.
Patton makes high-end VOIP gateways. They allow analog phones to function on digital networks. A powerful example of this technology at work is putting analog voice on fiber optics. With a VOIP gateway, analog sound signals are transmitted at light speed along the digital fiber lines. That increases the range, quality, speed, and security of the voice transmission. It also allows legacy voice devices to work harmoniously with modern networks, saving on cost and eliminating design challenges.
Media adapters allow your network to have the best of every world. You can have fiber optics for speed and distance while connecting various devices and media formats for convenience. At the heart of all of it are media adapters, much like the FiberPlex FOI-2890. It connects serial channels to multimode fiber, creating a communication line that spans miles at incredibly high speeds and ultimately transforming the traditional roles of serial devices.
There are still countless industrial devices that connect over serial interfaces. That creates a network design burden unless you have quality serial converters. They add freedom to your connection choices and help you integrate devices that might otherwise never communicate. Patton offers a wide range of serial converters like the 2089, for example. It’s bi-directional lines work with DB-9, RJ11, and RJ45 connectors and simply converts RS-232 signals to RS-485.
Patton’s line of devices will do amazing things for your industrial networks, but there are plenty of other powerful options at your disposal.
