Overview:
JetCon1301 is a compact 1-port Fast Ethernet media converter designed
as small as a cigarette box, making it an ideal model that would
physically fit into a chassis with limited space, such as machinery
control box and duct assembly room. It also supports switch forwarding
mode with abnormal packet filtering and pure converter mode for extreme
low latency requirement – fieldbus and EtherCAT, which needs invariant
forwarding latency in 64~1522 bytes packet length. For the easy
maintenance and time-saving, JetCon1301 features remote Link Loss
Forwarding technology which provides remote link down signal forwarding,
acknowledging link events occurred on each end of JetCon1301. To
activate forwarding mode and LLF functions, simply adjust DIP switch and
reset the converter and the reconfiguration will be applied.
For the field site harsh environmental installations
such as vibrating machinery or duct assembly room
applications, JetCon1301 can be easily mounted
directly onto DIN rail and powered with DC 18~32V
or AC 12~27V for applications, where DC input is not
available.
Besides, for particular 48V DC industrial
environments, JetCon1301-48V model is available to
be powered with DC 36~60V input. With the Ingress
Protection grade 31 and rigid alloy case, JetCon1301
can survive and have excellent performance under
-10~70oC temperature range, severe electromagnetic
interference and outcoming vibration.
The high MTBF value of over 500,000 hours, 5-year
global warranty and endurable performance of
JetCon 1301 series give you the reliable choices for
hazardous applications.
Reliable Life Vibration & Life Shock Tests
To ensure the reliability of the networking devices while operating
under harsh environments, Korenix JetCon 1301 has passed the following
life vibration and life shock tests.
IEC 61000-2-6 life vibration

IEC 61000-2-27 life shock 50G, 11ms duration, X,Y, Z, 3 shock/axes ( Total 18 shocks)
Switching Converter Mode and Pure Converter Mode
The JetCon 1301 can be used in two different modes,
switching converter mode and pure converter mode.
The store-and-forward technology is implemented in
switching converter mode. It will filter out abnormal packets to
maintain network efficiency, and support the data forwarding rate up to
148810 bps in full wire speed with packet length from 64 to 1522 bytes.
In the pure converter mode, the JetCon1301 only converts signal between
copper and fiber port without any packet check, and operates in the
speed of minimum data forwarding latency.
Traditionally, media converter is used for the signal conversion between
electronic and optical. Most of media converters are not capable of
handling all kinds of packet sizes. A major drawback is that they cannot
support 10/100Mbps auto negotiation and auto detection function for the
cross-over or straight cable. The pure converter mode has the advantage
of supporting extreme low transfer latency, even when the packet is
with a CRC error, and when the packet length is below 64 bytes. Some of
special devices need pure converter and
they need it operate simply without any features.
JetCon 1301 can be configured as Switching converter or Pure Converter
mode by a DIP Switch. For CSMA/CD compliance, the UTP port supports
100Mbps Full Duplex when setting JetCon 1301 as pure converter. If
setting as 100Mbps half duplex mode, the available link distance will be
60 meters only. In the switch mode, it will not have this limitation-
the link distance can be reached up to 100 meters.
In pure converter mode, the JetCon1301 will
operate with the minimum latency, 1.6 micro second. The 2 ports of
JetCon1301 are inter-connected via MII signals, therefore the internal
switch MAC and packet buffer are not used. Besides, the packet length
will not be limited and will reach up to 1600bytes. The updated
configuration will be available after resetting power.
Link Loss Forwarding Technology
When using traditional fiber converters, users often encounter
the following problem: a fiber converter acting like an ordinary
unmanaged 2 port switch. When one of the fiber converter's ports fails
(e.g. the TX port), the other one (e.g. FX port) continues to receive
data via the media (e.g. fiber), confusing the device on the other end
of the media by indicating that the connection is still intact. But, by
the time the disconnection is found, this error causes a great
amount of loss.
If a port loses the connection for any reason, it will activate Link
Loss Forwarding to shut down the other port, as a result, allowing the
device on the other end of the media to detect the disconnection. The
administrator over the network can be informed of the disconnection
immediately, and can react promptly to the situation, greatly reducing
loss caused by any link failure.
The Real Time Ethernet Solution- EtherCAT Test
JetCon 1301, an Industrial 10/100Base-TX to
100Base-FX Multi-Mode (JetCon1301-m)/ Single-
Mode (JetCon1301-s) fiber converter, has passed the
system test of an open Real-Time Ethernet solution,
EtherCAT. Cooperating with the testing laboratory
of Backhoff, Korenix sets a successful milestone to
enable Real Time Ethernet-EtherCAT, the fastest "industrial Ethernet
control in the world", over fiber
optics. For communication tasks, not only the defined latency (cycle
time) is important, but the jitter also has to be limited. During the
system test, there is no noticeable Jitter between two JetCon 1301
converters connected via fiber end, whereas EtherCAT devices attached to
the other Ethernet end. The system has been setup and tested to meet
all criterions of EtherCAT protocol. For standard Ethernet jitter,
specifications of only 100 μs to 3 ms are possible.
Reliable Mechanical Design
Industrial converters are often placed in harsh environments and are
required to run non-stop. The quality of industrial converter is
constantly being tested by rugged conditions, such as high or low
temperature conditions, impact, vibration, or corrosion. To cope with
demanding industrial environments, the aluminum alloy case of JetCon
Industrial Converter is rigid, shock-proof, and conforms to IP-31
housing design. In order to prevent power lines from damage caused by
falling dust particles and water drops in an industrial environment,
Korenix's engineers specially designed the terminal block for power and
relay at the bottom of the unit, greatly reducing failures caused by
this environment..
