With the iCON-3171 Ethernet extender, users can save on cabling and wiring costs and speedily extend the Ethernet connectivity. The built-in serial port and high-speed LANs enable fast and efficient setting. Moreover, the IP30-rated iCON-3171 meets NEMA TS1/TS2 standard for traffic control equipment and IEC61000-6-2 EMC generic standard immunity for harsh environment, and supports a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +75°C. This reliable unit is ideal for building automation, security surveillance, digital signage, factory automation, and intelligent transportation system.

To break the standard distance barriers, the iCON-3171 efficiently extends 10/100Mbps Ethernet circuits to 300 meters (984 feet) at up to 50Mbps transmit performance and up to 1,900 meters (6,232 feet) at 1Mbps transmit performance. The RJ-45 Ethernet port on this unit provides auto-MDIX and auto-negotiation. For the Ethernet extender ports, it uses RJ-11 and terminal block ports. Besides, the iCON-3171 comes with one RS-232 serial port to provide users with a versatile industrial communication. Its installation is easy with a single switch setting to select local or remote site. In addition, the iCON-3171 comes equipped with a redundant power input via a 12 VDC to 32 VDC terminal block or 12V DC jack, and is secured with Power Polarity Reverse and an Overload Current Resettable Fuse.
