| MRV Products Fiber Optic and GMX Products  Multimode Fiber-Optic Modules MRV provides a wide variety of SFP and GBIC modules for fiber optic communications, including data and video support. Multimode optical interfaces (generally 850nm) are designed for short distance, low cost communications. Multimode SFPs are used in several applications:
MRV provides a unique Multimode Extension (MMX) solution to extend the reach of high-speed data networking protocols over traditional multimode fiber. FDDI networks (100Mbps) allowed up to 2km rings to be created, which led to a large number of 2 km fiber plant installations in campus environments. MMX technology can extend Gigabit Ethernet beyond 2 km, allowing simple upgrades of FDDI backbone networks to Gigabit Ethernet. The typical usage of MMX pluggables would be in a media converter to connect a copper or standard multimode system to 2 km fiber link. Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Modules MRV provides an enormous range of single-mode fiber optic provides an enormous range of single-mode fiber optic interfaces in the SFP form factor, including solutions for virtually every known data and video protocol, and even protocol independent solutions. Single-mode SFPs and GBICs are used in a variety of applications:
MRV provides a unique capability of both transmitting and receiving data on a single fiber. This feature is critical for many Fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) environments, where a single fiber is laid to each customer. MRV's single-fiber solutions cover a range of protocols and distances, and even include single- fiber WDM. For Ethernet applications, MRV provides SFP modules that directly connect to a bi-directional fiber interface. MRV Also provides a wide variety of specialty patch cables to combine wavelengths and multiplex transmit and receive signals. Products |
