This product is discontinued. It has been replaced by the OBD 1514 E.

The OBD 1510 E is a matched pair of compact Ethernet switches designed to extend the reach of 1GbE signals over long distances. The two switches are linked via single bi-directional fiber link which operates at a constant 1 Gbit/s speed.

The pair of modules uses WDM fiber technology in a closed loop arrangement and functions as an Ethernet extender solution. The fiber link supports distances up to 10km and provides a single, high speed 1 Gbit/s error-free optical connection between the two locations.

Each OBD 1510 E module has two standard RJ45 Ethernet ports and the complete system functions as a 4 port Ethernet switch, providing two standard RJ45 Ethernet ports at each location bridged with fiber. For legacy systems, each Ethernet port can be set for automatic speed detection (10/100/1000) or forced to 10 Mbit/s. Each port uses auto crossover detection or can be forced set manually. These functions are available using the dip switch.

Note: This system used WDM optical multiplexing and should only be used in point to point applications. This solution cannot be integrated into a CWDM multiplexed system.
