KTI Networks KCD-303P-A1 Manual De Usuario

The industrial rated KCD-303P series supports three switched connections including copper and fiber 

for networks over POF (Plastic Optical Fiber). The copper ports support 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation 

and auto-MDI/MDIX for Cat.5 plug-and-play. The fiber ports support plug-less connections of high 

bandwidth 100Mbps data rate over POF cables. POF technology offers a complementary solution to 

UTP copper wire for industrial, office and home networks because it is low cost, weight little, thin, 

easy and safe to install and electronic noise immunity. 

 

 

 

Depending on the types of the network ports and the supported POF cables, several different models 

are defined as follows: 

 

Model 

Copper Port (RJ-45)

Fiber Port (POF)

1 port 

1.5mm 

KCD-303P-A2 

2 ports 

1 port 

2.2mm 

KCD-303P-B1 

1 port 

2 ports

2.2mm 

 

The switch also provide the following advantages: 

No configuration is required in using the switches. With the featured auto-negotiation function, the 

switches can detect and configure the connection speed and duplex automatically for the copper ports. 

The switches also provide auto MDI/MDI-X function, which can detect the connected cable and switch 

the transmission wire pair and receiving pair automatically. This auto-crossover function can simplify 

the type of network cables used. 

The switches support plug-less POF connection. Both model series offer an ideal solution for POF 

deployment in home and industrial networks. For the application need, 1.5mm POF and 2.2mm POF 

are supported in different models. 

For industrial environment, the main devices are designed with the following enhanced features 

exceeding that of commercial Ethernet switches: 

 

High and wide operating temperature
