Fiber Optic Links

A line of high-speed fiber-optic link products for Internet/intranet connection implements either the T-3, E-3, STS-1, or OC-1 protocols. A total of 18 models are offered to complement a T-1/E-1 line of products.

All models are available in 1U high, 19-inch, rack-mounted cases for installation in existing telecom/datacom racks. The T-3 protocol runs at 44.736 Mbps, the E-3 at 34.368 Mbps, and the STS-1 and OC-1 at 51.84 Mbps. The enclosures hold one or two units. The second unit provides redundancy where required.

These high-speed units are engineered to interconnect a telecom switch to another switch, voice/data multiplexers, or routers. They allow communication over long distances without the use of repeaters. Extended distances to 50 km with a single-mode fiber are also possible.

The products are available with options such as ST/SC/FC connections for single-mode operation.
