PoE fibre transmission

KBC Networks has added PoE (Power over Ethernet) to its network transmission range. The first of the new products is a fully ruggedised 10/100 Ethernet media converter with PoE+ that conforms to the higher power specifications necessary for PTZ and dome cameras. The KBC FTLS1 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at specification and acts as a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) providing 25.5W at 48Vdc. The unit supports transmission of an Ethernet channel over either one or two, multi-mode or single-mode optic

1762 KBC Networks has added PoE (Power over Ethernet) to its network transmission range. The first of the new products is a fully ruggedised 10/100 Ethernet media converter with PoE+ that conforms to the higher power specifications necessary for PTZ and dome cameras. The KBC FTLS1 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at specification and acts as a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) providing 25.5W at 48Vdc. The unit supports transmission of an Ethernet channel over either one or two, multi-mode or single-mode optical fibres. With full duplex operation, it enables transmission distances in excess of 30km over single-mode fibre.

The US now has 75 light rail and metro networks in operation; and California, in particular, is actively exploring ways of developing the state’s existing passenger rail operations into a fully integrated system.

    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p

    David Crawford investigates progress in a key safety area - work zones. Highway construction zone safety is taken seriously enough in the US to merit a special spring National Work Zone Awareness Week, which in 2010 ran from 19-23 April. Headed by the US Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), this aims to reduce an annual toll of work zone deaths - 720 in 2008 (an average of one every 10 hours) with more than 40,000 traffic injuries (an average of one every 13 minutes).
