The Mont Blanc Tunnel secured by fibre optic transmission

How was the Mont Blanc Tunnel, secured by fibre optic transmission, made possible through our Mini Plus media converters and reliable communication?

The Mont Blanc Tunnel: critical transmissions

Stretching 11.6 kilometres, the Mont Blanc Tunnel is one of Europe’s most strategic road links, connecting France and Italy. Its operation demands high standards in safety, traffic supervision, and communication transmission, 24/7.
Furthermore, in this particularly challenging environment, reliable and compact technological solutions are essential.

Did you know?

The Mont Blanc Tunnel control tower continuously manages:

• Traffic control,
• Security equipment management,
• Real-time traffic information,
• Coordination of emergency interventions.

To guarantee a constant link between the field and the control room, every detail of the infrastructure must be perfectly mastered.

116 safety niches equipped with Emergency Call Stations

The tunnel features 116 safety niches distributed along its entire length.
These strategic spaces house Emergency Call Stations, which are vital for user safety.
Within this framework, 121 IFOTEC Mini-Plus media converters were chosen to be installed inside equipment from the manufacturer iQanto.

Mini Plus media converters ensure fibre optic transmission

IFOTEC Mini Plus Ethernet media converters were selected for their key advantages:

• The smallest casing on the market.
• Transmission over one or two multimode or single-mode fibres using the same module.
• Suitability for harsh environments.

Thanks to their discreet integration into the emergency call stations, they ensure continuous fibre optic transmission for communications and the safety of both users and operational teams.

A secured Mont Blanc Tunnel by fibre optic

This project guarantees total communication continuity and optimal integration into the emergency niches thanks to the ultra-compact format of the Mini Plus. It directly improves the safety of users and operating staff.
The Mini Plus units thus play a key role in maintaining the link between the field and central supervision.

IFOTEC launches Mini Giga PoE++ 90W

Here it is ! IFOTEC launches Mini Giga PoE++ 90W and enriches its range of industrial media converters for fibre optic networks with a Gigabit POE version.

This product is equipped with an RJ45 port, 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE++ compatible with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) and IEEE 802.3bt type 3 and type 4 (PoE++) standards. The RJ45 PoE++ PSE (Power Supply Equipment) port can supply up to 90W to a PoE PD (Powered Device).

Mini Giga PoE++ also has a 100/1000 Mbps SFP port – A dipswitch allows the SFP port to be configured to 100 or 1000 Mbps!

It is designed to operate in harsh environments (-40°C; +75°C)!

And like all the IFOTEC range, its small size will allow you to integrate it in small enclosures.

The little extra: Mini Giga PoE can be used as a PoE injector.

RS232/422/485 transmission on SFP modules

IFOTEC revolutionises its range and launches the RSData module designed to operate in harsh environments. Its SFP ports allow it to be used in point-to-point, repeater or ring mode.

The RSData module enables a RS232, RS422, RS485, 2 or 4 wire signal to be transferred over an optical fibre according to different installation configurations by inserting one or two optical 100Mbps SFP modules : See our wide range of SFPs .

RSData: 1 single product 3 possible configurations

• In point-to-point configuration, only two RSData modules are connected via fibre optics.
• In a repeater configuration, data is propagated over all RSData modules connected in series by the
  fibre optics.
• In the ring configuration, the link between the modules is maintained in case of an optical fibre breakage or equipment failure. The length of the optical ring is limited only by the maximum distance between two pieces of equipment.

Highlights

• 1 bi-directional data channel
• 2 optical ports on SFP
• 1 contact closure interface (alarm or fault detection depending on configuration)
• Easy to configure with external switches
• Compact, small footprint housing that can be integrated into an enclosure
• Power supply range extended from 9 to 60 VDC
• Operating temperature from -40 to + 75 ° C
