Interop 'Best of Show Award' winning product 10G compatible media converter 'LEX3881-2F'

The "LEX3881-2F" is a media converter that supports Ethernet OAM and is equipped with Link OAM/CFM OAM functionality. It achieves the world's smallest size (Note 1) for an Ethernet OAM-compatible media converter. The "LEX3881-2F" simultaneously implements 1G/10G-SFP, can automatically determine speed, allows for conversion from two fibers to one, extends distance through the implementation of long-distance 10G-SFP x2, and supports various functions such as rate changes from 1G to 10G. Additionally, it operates within a temperature range of -10 to 55°C, covering a wide range of temperature conditions. Furthermore, it is equipped with a Dying Gasp function that remotely notifies of power outages, allowing for quick responses in case of failures. (*) Based on our research on standalone (single unit) gigabit media converters compatible with Ethernet OAM. ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

A modular chassis capable of accommodating up to 20 line cards for Ethernet OAM-compatible media converters.

The "LEX3020" is a 2U high, 19-inch rack-mounted chassis that can accommodate up to 20 media converters from the LEX3000 series. The chassis features a special insertion and removal structure in its slots, allowing the line card to tilt to the right when the screws are loosened during removal, causing the card to protrude forward. This design enables smooth insertion and removal of cards while preventing the loss of screws. Additionally, a tray for managing excess fiber length is incorporated at the bottom of the slots.

[Speaker] Ministry of Defense, Defense Planning Bureau, Defense Planning Division Director of Early Equipment Promotion Office, Mr. Toshiyuki Hinosawa [Key Lecture Content] As the security environment surrounding our country has become the most severe and complex since the post-war period, we are advancing efforts toward early equipment procurement in areas that are particularly urgent and important from a policy perspective, while also incorporating cutting-edge technology. In particular, unmanned assets were heavily utilized during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, drastically changing the nature of combat. In the future, I will discuss how the Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces will enhance these capabilities, including the multi-layered coastal defense system concept "SHIELD." [Lecture Items] 1. Concept and Overview of Early Equipment Procurement 2. Major Efforts Toward Early Equipment Procurement to Date 3. Strengthening Defense Capabilities of Unmanned Assets 4. Establishing a Multi-Layered Coastal Defense System "SHIELD" Using Unmanned Assets 5. Q&A / Business Card Exchange

We will be exhibiting at the "Converting Technology Comprehensive Exhibition 2026," which focuses on processing machines and equipment centered around converting technology. When you visit, please be sure to stop by our booth. We sincerely look forward to your visit. 【Our Booth Number】 2W-R33

[Instructor] Shunsuke Suzuki, President and CEO, Management Techniques Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The modern business environment is changing at an unpredictable pace, and to achieve success, new approaches that go beyond traditional thinking are essential. "Normal" thinking and "conventional" solutions cannot differentiate you in a highly competitive market. True breakthroughs arise from stepping outside the box. Therefore, the ability to "discover hidden problems and create innovative ideas that others cannot think of" becomes crucial. So, how can we develop such abilities and apply them in the business field? Successful business leaders, skilled engineers, and entrepreneurs who have achieved results do not rely solely on logic; they employ creative thinking. This can be broadly categorized into four areas: associative thinking, abstract thinking, multifaceted thinking, and conceptual thinking. In this seminar, we will learn four creative thinking approaches that will be immediately applicable in business settings. Through these, let’s master the way of thinking that will keep you one step ahead in the business world.

[Speaker] President and CEO of Leading Innovation Co., Ltd. Senior Consultant Yoshizawa Yosuke [Lecture Topics] 1. Common sense is creating a sense of stagnation in new product and new business development. 2. Reasons why "latent needs are infinite." 3. How to convert technology into functionality. 4. The importance and methods of converting functionality into value. 5. How to discover attractive themes from technology through a business structure map and generative AI. 6. Formulating competitive advantage strategies. 7. Q&A Session.
