Continuing to push the boundaries of media connectivity,
the Fiber Driver? GBIC-to-SFP Media Module (EM316-GBICSFP) from MRV
Communications is a data rate independent, single channel solution for linking
GBIC and SFP interfaces. It defines a new level of deployment flexibility and
inventory management, enabling the implementation of an extremely wide range of
network infrastructure solutions from media conversion and signal boosting to
lambda conversion, Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Optical Add/Drop
Multiplexing (OADM).
The GBIC-to-SFP Media Module offers plug-n-play ease
of installation. Simply place the module into the Fiber Driver chassis, insert
the GBIC and SFP transceivers required for the protocol and distance of the
application, and connect to the network.
Because GBIC and SFP
transceivers are portable they can be easily used again at a different location
for a different application, maximizing the investment in equipment and reducing
the need for on-hand inventory. MRV Communications provides a complete range of
optical and copper plug-in interfaces for the EM316GBIC-SFP.
The
GBIC-to-SFP Media Module is data rate independent and performs 2R - reshape and
retransmit - conditioning of the data signal. Any protocol is supported,
including Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, ESCON, SONET (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and
above), Fibre Channel (1 Gbps & 2 Gbps), Serial Digital Video Interface
(SDI) SMPTPE-269 and SMTPE-292, DVB, HDTV (1.5 Gbps), and many
others.
With an externally connected Mux/Demux unit such as the 4- or
8-channel Fiber Driver CWDM Passive Mux/Demux (EM316PA4N / EM316PA8N), the
GBIC-to-SFP Media Module can be used as a WDM solution building block configured
to the desired protocol/data rate and provided with GBICs or SFPs of the
required wavelengths. Deployed along a WDM trunk at customer service points
using MRV Communications' passive OADM technology, the GBIC-to-SFP Media Module
can be used to create a sophisticated Add/Drop topology.
The GBIC-to-SFP
Media Module is a hot swappable, single-slot module that can be placed in any
powered Fiber Driver chassis. It fully supports the GBIC and SFP standards,
including SFP digital diagnostics as per SFF-8472. Through the Fiber Driver
Network Management Module, the EM316-GBICSFP is SNMP manageable and fully
supported through the GUI of MegaVision Web?, MRV Communications' comprehensive
Network Management System (NMS). |
