IFS Advantage

Superior Engineering

Advantage #1 Precision Engineering

Combining solid engineering practices and quality components, IFS has built a long-standing reputation as a manufacturer of precision engineered analog and digital fiber optic products that are field proven and time tested.

Advantage #2 Extended Operating Temperature

All International Fiber Systems equipment is specified to operate over a temperature range of -40°C (-38°F) to +74°C (165°F). IFS has the widest ambient temperature operating range of any fiber optic product manufacturer.

Advantage #3 Quality Assurance

Product performance should always meet published specifications. The entire IFS product line is put through a stringent quality assurance program. In fact, IFS can provide, upon request and at no charge to you, full test data results of your product before shipment.

Proven Performance

Advantage #4 Broad-Range Compatibility

Selecting the right fiber optic module for your application is easy. Because IFS products are transparent to data encoding they're designed for broad-range compatibility with all major system manufacturers and allow for cost effective system upgrades.

Advantage #5 No In-Field Adjustments

When it comes to fiber optic installation, our "plug & play" products are as easy as it gets. All products are designed to operate from zero to maximum distance, eliminating the need for optical or electrical adjustments.

Advantage #6 Single Point Failure Protection

A highly fault-tolerant design provides for single point failure protection. A failed rack mount module will not affect the operation or performance of any other module within the rack. An accidental short of any module can be easily cleared by temporarily disconnecting power from that module.

World-Class Service

Advantage #7 Real Technical Support

The IFS Design Center is open from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday and can also be reached via email at designcenter@ifs.com or through the internet at www.ifs.com.
