EKF is launching a new line of business - active industrial telecommunications equipment, which will allow the company to offer comprehensive solutions in the field of industrial automation, building management systems, and infrastructure projects. EKF active telecommunications equipment will simplify the integration of IT and ACS systems, ensure scalability, performance, flexibility and ease of management, and increase the stability and efficiency of systems as a whole.

The new EKF active telecommunications equipment line includes: industrial switches, including those with PoE support, media converters, interface converters, SFP transceivers. In 2024, it is planned to expand the range - the introduction of industrial protocol converters, radio frequency systems, lines of specialized switches for energy and transport.

EKF industrial switches provide redundancy with fast recovery, have a high degree of protection against electromagnetic interference and voltage surges, and support reliable communication in extreme operating conditions in the temperature range from -40 to 75 °C. The combination of copper and optical ports gives the system the necessary flexibility and compliance with industrial industry standards.

Industrial PoE switches allow you to connect up to 24 external devices with a power consumption of 36 W per channel, such as PTZ video cameras, wireless devices and other field equipment.

For data transmission over distances up to 120 km, EKF offers to expand the capabilities of the standard RS-485/232 interface through the use of an RS-232/485 to Ethernet serial interface converter and optical media converters. The EKF SFP transceiver line allows engineers not to limit themselves in the choice of fiber type.

EKF does not stand aside in the process of active development and construction of new data centers. EKF active telecommunications equipment can be used in the data center infrastructure in environmental monitoring systems and energy management systems.
