TORRANCE, CA - August 20, 2001 — Feeling the need for some higher speed? Converting networks from copper into fiber used to be very complicated. Today, TRENDnet, the leading manufacturer of networking products worldwide, introduced a much easier way to convert your normal copper media into faster fiber media with TRENDnet's Fiber Media Converters.

Users had such a hard time before converting their copper networks into fiber due to the difference in connection speeds, converter types, and mode selections. TRENDnet provides a full line of fiber media converters for all types of networks. With TRENDnet's variety of fiber converters, TFC-100 Series for 100Mbps networks, TFC-110 Series for 10/100Mbps networks, and TFC-1000 Series for 1000Mbps networks, it doesn't matter what type of speed your connection maybe, TRENDnet will support them all. Each TFC series will support SC, ST, or MT-RJ connectors at both single and multi-modes, with up to 75 km in distance for single mode connections.

TRENDnet also offers a 16-slot EIA 19" Rack-Mountable Chassis System, TFC-1600 to house all your TFC series media converters. Designed for continuous operations, the chassis is equipped with optional redundant power supplies and optional management modules. TRENDnet's TFC-1600 Chassis System eliminates the external power adapters for TFC series media converters and organizes multiple converters in a single unit, making it the perfect solution for managing multiple TFC series converters.

TRENDnet's TFC-100MSC is now available to ship. The rest of the TFC series will be complete by October 2001. Find the converter that best suits your network needs!
