You may be wondering what we mean when we say “Ethernet Everywhere”…
With PCN networking products; customers are able to utilize the existing installed & operational wiring already in place to transport Ethernet data; without ever impacting any of the existing functionality already in place.
Our products are 10/100 networking solutions and are extremely reliable and robust allowing customers to transport standardized IEEE 802.3 Ethernet across the existing network. No longer are running CAT 5/6 and wireless the only two options to consider when needing to access and transport Ethernet data. When using PCN, customers are saving large amounts of time, effort and money while achieving huge benefits across their business.
Network owners, system integrators, and Ethernet device manufacturers now have a better option in the access, transport, installation, and use of digital Ethernet/IP applications allowing them to rapidly deploy Ethernet without impacting the significat business and network operations of their operations or their customer’s operations.
PCN products use very sophisticated dynamic and adaptive algorithms in the management of data at the physical level. This allows the transport of data in a very elegant way while enabling extreme reliability in the network for all data systems.
For example, RS-485 twisted pair networks can now access Ethernet in a multi-drop fashion. This allows “Ethernet over RS485” and transports Ethernet where and when you want it……without ever impacting the existing safety, security or reliability of the existing system.
PCN products are masters at knowing how to transport Ethernet reliably and securely all the way to the Edge without impacting existing network or business operations.
So, whether you need to:
- Deploy Ethernet over RS485 Twisted Pair Networks (232,422, 485, DMX, Modbus Serial, Cat 3, Etc)
- Deploy Ethernet over Serial Twisted Pair (Wet or Dry Wire)
- Deploy Ethernet over existing Discrete Wiring (Current loop, A/V, Low Voltage, Etc)
- Utilize existing wiring to create IP Gateways, Full IP Networks, or Extend Ethernet
- Multi-Drop IP in the same architecture with Serial networks (mix locations or full use IP networks)
PCN’s family of Routers and Switches instantly provide you a networking solution that hands down meets your needs, and will provide you a robust, reliable and scalable solution. PCN products can work in conjunction with other digital Internet and Enterprise networking products in meeting your Ethernet needs.
Below is an example of PCN products dropped into an existing RS485 Twisted Pair network. In this example, a PCN single channel Router networks with 4 PCN switches. Each switch allows the standard RS485 Serial Network to be maintained while also enabling access to 3 IP devices. PCN products are hot-pluggable and require no configuration.
PCN Enterprise Routers, LAN Routers, and Ethernet Switches support large scale Enterprise networks, as well as, smaller LAN networks.
