A world without networks? Unimaginable. Communication systems, complex industrial plants, energy supply – everything only runs smoothly when the network infrastructure in the background reliably ensures a good connection. KTI has exactly the right solutions.
Conditions in industrial environments are different from those in office environments: harsh and challenging. Industrial use has a massive impact on the transmission quality and reliability of switches and media converters. For example, very few electronic devices start up when the ambient temperature falls below -10°C. Or they quickly overheat above 50°C. Temperature fluctuations during operation are a major problem. Dirt, moisture and vibrations are other factors that have a direct impact on the function of active network components.
KTI's Industrial Ethernet devices are specially designed, built and extensively tested for this environment. We support our customers by providing an Ethernet communication structure that enables better results in terms of connectivity for machines, conveyor belts, robots, control centres and video surveillance systems. Wide voltage supply, extended temperature range, increased ESD and vibration resistance, DIN rail mounting, alarm contacts and reliability are the factors that are taken into account. With KTI, you get network components that are capable of withstanding industrial production processes and harsh environments.
Briefly explained: KAMR
KAMR stands for KTI Auto Multi Ring: this is KTI's ultra-fast ring protocol. It ensures that the connection is re-established within milliseconds in the event of a failure. KTI ensures maximum security, especially in industrial applications, thanks to KAMR.
KTI products have proven themselves over many years in the field of energy generation and energy supply. The share of renewable energies in total electricity production is growing: sustainably produced green electricity must be reliably fed into the grid. This is where KTI is in use worldwide. For example, switches from KTI are installed in many wind turbines. Solar fields are connected with media converters from KTI.
In terms of data throughput and speed, the converter is clearly superior to a switch. The conversion is transparent and latency-free. This means that several devices can be connected in series – without any time delay! KTI converters are also used as smart translators when different types of fibre optics meet. The devices connect single-mode and multi-mode fibre optics at consistent speeds. This also makes the converter suitable for use as an amplifier over long distances.
Optionally equipped with management functions or PoE functionality, a wide variety of applications can be considered.
Camera surveillance systems are used in public spaces, at large events and also in traffic control to protect everyone involved. A stable network connection, even over long distances, is one of the most important basic requirements here too. KTI media converters convert copper and fibre optic signals with absolute reliability to bridge distances without loss.
Intelligent control without data congestion: With their robust product features, KTI devices are the preferred choice in all areas of traffic control and monitoring. The components used in rail transport are subject to particularly high requirements. KTI has developed device series that are certified for this purpose.

KTI media converters convert copper and fibre optic signals with absolute reliability to bridge distances without loss.
Terminal devices – such as surveillance cameras – are supplied not only with data but also with power via the network connection when required. Converters and switches with PoE functionality simply ensure greater efficiency and flexibility here.
Performance, reliability and flexibility are among the most important requirements for a core switch. It is indispensable in a corporate network, as it ensures efficient, reliable data communication. KTI offers backbone solutions for small to medium-sized businesses.
Public sector projects are often subject to special requirements: energy efficiency, sustainability and safety are just as important decision-making criteria as the quality management of the contracted companies.
KTI is certified according to DIN EN ISO: 9001 and thus fulfils essential basic requirements.
Fibre-to-the-office is the modern standard for network distribution from the central distributor to the workplace. FTTO applications enable higher data rates and distances by using fibre optic cables for the first part of the route. Terminal devices such as PCs, printers or telephone systems can be connected using standard patch cables. KTI desktop switches feature a modern design. The devices do not require fans and operate silently, making them ideal for the workplace.
