| MRV Products WDM45/GMX 4-Channel, 4-Wavelength WDM with Gigabit Multimode Extender (GMX) Trunk  The Fiber Driver? WDM45/GMX, combining advanced Coarse Wave Division Multiplexer (CWDM) technology and MRV Communications' award-winning Gigabit Multimode Extender (GMX) technology, carries four separate data channels with an aggregate bandwidth of 4 Gbps (8 Gbps at Full Duplex) to a guaranteed distance of 2 km over a Multimode fiber link. The physical properties of Multimode fiber typically limits Gigabitspeed transmissions to a distance of 550 meters or less, far shorter than the 2-kilometer standard when Multimode fiber is used for transmitting protocols such as FDDI and Fast Ethernet. This fact has left IT managers that need to upgrade their network in order to use Gigabit protocols with little choice but to abandon their Multimode fiber and install new Singlemode (SM) fiber. However, the GMX technology, available exclusively in the Fiber Driver product line and incorporated into the WDM45/GMX, gives network administrators another option. This achievement brings new life to existing Multimode (MM) fiber plants, making it possible to greatly increase network capacity while avoiding the cost, complications and lead times associated with the installation of new fiber. With support for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FICON, and other protocols, the WDM45/GMX is ideal for high-speed LAN, Metro Area Network (MAN), and Storage Area Network (SAN) applications. It provides a clear migration path to new technologies while protecting the investment in existing fiber. |
