Also, a new UPS (below) features a 4-ms transfer time, designed to prevent system disruptions and equipment lockup. It isdesigned to ensure reliability in critical security installations, and is backed by a 3-year warranty. The UPS also incorporates high-capacity, heavy-dutybatteries. Expansion battery pack options are available, while eight surge-protected outlets protect connected equipment from surges and spikes. Four of these protected outlets are designed for critical loads; in the event of anextended power outage, the system can shed power to non-critical loads,extending run time for connectedequipment. A sliding rear rackrail mount with 4-point support provides single-person UPS mounting capability. In addition, the UPS features proprietary Energy Saver Circuitry, which under normal circumstancesreduces power consumption 75% compared to traditional UPS designs. This UL-listed UPS is available in 15- and 20-amp configurations, and is designed to integrate into smaller racks and enclosures. An intuitive management software provides system status notification and automatic system shutdown as required.

1300 nm media converter

Click here to enlarge image

The PSI-MOS 1300 series of singlemode fiber-optic media converter modules for the 1300 nm wavelength complement existing modules for 660 and 850 nm wavelengths. Using these common wavelengths also allows the use of polymer or plastic, hardened clad silica (HCS), multimode glass, and single-mode glass fibercable. The media converters have local LED diagnosticsfor fiber-optic cable connection and proactive alarming. Singlefiber-optic modules with dual fiber cable connections provide redundant point-to-point, star, tree and ring topologies, depending on the communication system. The module's T-bus connection system allows the sharing of data and supply voltage. Cable distances can range from a few feet to more than 20 miles in length.

The Minuteman RPM 1521 2-outletIP-addressable remote power managerlets users send a command via a Web browser to cycle power off and on, reducing downtime and providing fast resolution to equipment lock-ups involving remote or hard-to-reach security and telephone/VoIP systems, as well as datacenter servers and network peripherals. The RPM 1521 allows each receptacle to be independently monitored and managed, including scheduled shut-downs andreboots. In addition, each receptacleprovides protection from surges andspikes. The secure browser interface manages user privileges via password protection. An “auto-ping” feature monitorsand auto-detects the availability ofattached equipment. If no response is detected, the RPM 1521 will notify administrators that an attached device is non-responsive. The RPM 1521 also offers “green” functionality by initiating power down andpower restore commands at pre-scheduled times, saving energy duringperiods when equipment is not in use.
