AMG introduces the media converter blade system
On March 1, 2025, AMG Systems of the United Kingdom and USA introduced the AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System. The AMG260B blade cards are designed to be installed in the AMG2036 blade chassis system, which can support up to 18 individual blade cards in a single 1U of 19-inch rack space. This provides industry-leading rack density where space is at a premium, and the blade cards' hot-swap capability ensures easy future expansion and device maintenance or replacement. Within the line are available one TX port in, one FX SFP port out, and two TX port in, one FX SFP port out models with additional models planned for the future.
Designed as ultra-compact blade cards, the AMG260B series media converters are ideally suited for connecting equipment to Ethernet networks over long distances using multimode or single-mode optical fiber through the integrated SFP port. Fiber connectivity is determined by separate SFP device selection, providing application and site flexibility. The AMG260B uses a dual-speed 100Mb/1Gb SFP port for connectivity, and AMG offers a wide range of SFPs for fiber, connector type, and distance. The AMG260B Series media converters are designed in the USA and UK and manufactured in an ISO9001-certified UK facility, are designed to NEMA standards and are fully TAA and NDAA compliant, and unlike similar products from other Asian countries, can be used in all US Government installations.
Steve Clarke, AMG's Managing Director, said, “AMG is known for our innovative approach to product design. With space being at a premium in most installations, the AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System solves density challenges by allowing a large number of media converters to occupy a small amount of space in a standard 19-inch rack.” “Our unparalleled manufacturing process allows AMG to offer a wide range of transmission products at very cost-effective levels while maintaining ISO9001 quality, the AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System is another example,” Clarke concluded.
Tom Exley, AMG Technical Director, adds, “The AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System continues our quality standard. Our sales team and engineering team looked at what was available, identified installation density challenges, and engineered the AMG260B/AMG2036 Blade Chassis System to overcome those weaknesses. The AMG260B builds off the successful AMG 260M Series media converter and transforms it into the blade format. This media converter system solves the density challenge, allowing the user to utilize more devices in a smaller area. The AMG 260B is made in an ISO9001-certified facility and, most importantly, is available when needed. We believe in the quality and stand behind them with lifetime support. Plus having a product made in the UK gives your network an added layer of security.”
AMG believes having products in stock, being fully supported by the AMG design team, and being covered by the AMG Lifetime Warranty gives AMG customers worldwide a measurable advantage in today’s competitive marketplace.
