Fibre Technologies extends FTTx and media converter product offerings with IMC Networks

July 6, 2010 - PRLog -- IMC’s product offerings include the iMcV-FiberLinX-II range, a series of demarcation units expressly designed for fibre termination; and its Industrial Ethernet (IE) family, a series of media converters which support copper/fibre conversion with extended temperature support and DC power.

As demand for bandwidth continues to rise, IMC Networks' iMcV-FiberLinX-II range provides telcos and energy companies with a fully managed demarcation device to easily upgrade legacy copper access technologies and provide a flexible and cost effective point-to-point solution for the curb and business use.

The IE series of products will be sold through Fibre Technologies’ fibre optic consumables website, www.fibredistribution.co.uk. This range of industrial media converters is designed to handle extreme temperature conditions and non-office environments. As the deployment of IP-CCTV grows, media converters will become integral to interfacing the copper and fibre connections which meet at the pole, for example. Other applications include WiFi networks and access control and monitoring systems.  

On working with Fibre Technologies, Brendan Mullooly, European Operations Manager at IMC Networks comments: “Fibre Technologies’ experience in working with telcos and large scale FTTx projects makes them a perfect fit to successfully market these product ranges in the UK. We look forward to working with the team to help extend our market share in the region.”

Ian Hunt, Managing Director at Fibre Technologies, adds: “We are seeing a significant rise in FTTx implementations and the IMC Networks range is a cost-effective way for telcos and businesses to manage the transition and reap the benefits of upgrading existing network infrastructure. As applications for media converters become more varied, we are able to offer our customers a wide range of solutions to withstand the toughest of conditions.”
