Overview

Elegantly simple yet packed with an advanced feature set, the FiberPlex Technologies TIS-8632 is a powerful 6 Port 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch. The unit features (4) RJ-45 UTP ports as well as (2) flexible SFP ports. The TIS-8632 is part of the FiberPlex TD Import Series. Two or more TIS-8632 can be chained together via fiber to provide a distributed solution where isolation, distance, security and/or noise immunity is needed between nodes. Locally, an 8 copper x 2 optical switch can be created using a Passive SFP Cable Assembly between SFP ports. This cable saves cost by replacing (2) optical modules and a fiber cable with an inexpensive copper jumper. While this solution is only good for very short ‘jumper’ lengths, it provides flexibility for local port expansion.

The TIS-8632 is housed in the commercial ‘Throw Down’ packaging. This version is designed to be a work horse unit in various commercial and industrial environments. It is powered either by a 9VDC AC power adapter (included) or via bussed power supplied through an integrated three pin Phoenix™ connector. Up to three TIS-8632 units can be installed in the optional 1U TDR-01 rack shelf or DIN rail mounted.

IEEE 802.3-2008 GbE support

The flexibility of the SFP ports allows for full 1000BASE-X support as defined by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. Simply by selecting the appropriate SFP module according to the chart below, a standards compatible GbE port can be created. Each SFP can actually be configured separately, this can be useful if neworks based on two different standards needs to be bridged.
