UNSPSC 43201540: Channel converter

A modulator/demodulator with many channels designed for different frequency ranges.

UNSPSC 43201540 Channel converter, a Commodity code, encompasses network connectivity hardware used in data infrastructure upgrades and facility modernization across state and local jurisdictions. The code captures equipment that state and local governments procure to expand, modify, or replace network plant—including converters, optics modules, and related interface devices that enable data transmission standards compatibility. Recent solicitations show governments buying channel converters and related network hardware as components of broader communications system projects, facility upgrades, and traffic management infrastructure rather than as standalone products.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county government, transit authorities, community colleges, airports, and county public works departments. Bergen County, New Jersey and Bergen Community College both posted network cabling services in late September 2026, while Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority solicited Antaira modules and media converters in May 2026, and Seminole County Public Works requested network hardware for Advanced Traffic Management System expansion in July 2026. The Peachtree City Airport Authority's August 2026 bid for Air Traffic Control Tower communications included channel converters as part of a broader equipment package. Geographic spread includes New Jersey, Florida, Georgia, and Texas; a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas) posted a network systems and supplies bid in June 2026 with estimated expenditures of $12.011 million over two years. Bergen Community College's two-year on-call network cabling contract (due November 4, 2026) specifies Category 6 cable plant modifications across three Paramus, Lyndhurst, and Hackensack campuses with technical specifications for General Cable GenSpeed 6000 wire, Panduit RJ45 jacks, and termination standards, while DART's May 26, 2026 purchase order focused on specific Antaira modules and media converters for immediate FOB Destination delivery with Net 30 payment terms.
