The Fiber Driver? Gigabit Multimode Extenders apply
unique technology that allows the transmission of high-speed signals over
Multimode fibers to distances much longer than the standard. This allows the use
of high-speed backbone protocols over fiber that was originally used for
FDDI.
Fiber optic cables for FDDI applications were typically laid in 2
km increments, since that was the distance limit for FDDI and Fast Ethernet on
Multimode fiber. But with today's new high-speed backbone protocols, Multimode
fiber's physical characteristics result in a maximum distance of 275 to 550
meters, depending on protocol and fiber size.
The Fiber Driver Gigabit
Multimode Extenders offer solutions that are interoperable with all standard
Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and FICON equipment. The Gigabit Multimode
Extenders carry Gigabit links on existing Multimode fiber (FDDI graded) to
distances of up to 2 km (and, depending on the quality of the fiber, they can
provide links of up to 6 km). |
