Beijer JetCon 1301 Series – Industrial Ethernet/fiber media converters
The Beijer JetCon 1301 Series, integrated and supported by Aquila, comprises industrial Ethernet/fiber media converters designed to extend and protect communication links in marine, offshore and harsh‑environment industrial applications. These converters provide an advanced, cost‑effective long‑distance solution, enabling Ethernet networks to be extended over fiber where electrical noise, long cable runs or isolation requirements demand more than copper can provide.
Built as true industrial Gigabit media converters, JetCon 1301 units feature dual power input and real‑time power backup, delivering non‑stop transmission even if one power source fails. With compact housings suitable for DIN‑rail or panel mounting, and variants supporting single‑mode or multi‑mode fiber, JetCon 1301 converters fit easily into bridge consoles, machinery panels, offshore modules and industrial cabinets where reliable, always‑on connectivity is critical.
