iMcV-E1-Mux/4, SFP (requires one SFP/155 Module)
iMcV-E1-Mux/4 Converters
The iMcV-E1-Mux/4 is a managed modular media converter, installed as a Host/Remote pair, that transports four independent E1 lines over a single or dual fiber optic line. The module is ideal for applications requiring TDM extension, such as remote office PABX connectivity, with optional support for a full bandwidth 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connection over the same optical link.
There are two different versions to choose from:
- iMcV-E1-Mux/4: standard version offering one RS-232 port and four E1 extensions over fiber, via a single SFP port (SFP not included).
- iMcV-E1-Mux/4+Ethernet: advanced version offering one RS-232 port and four E1 extensions along with one Ethernet extension over fiber. Dual SFP ports offer 1+1 protection switching on the fiber link.
The iMcV-E1-Mux/4 system provides full Operation Administration and Management (OAM) support for the E1, Ethernet, and fiber links from the Host end of the link. The equipment detects, Ethernet, E1 and fiber LOS events as well as degraded lines with full LED indications including a Remote Alarm Indicator (RAI) over the fiber link.
Fiber redundancy (1+1) on removable SFP modules offers the enhanced reliability of a protected fiber link while supporting the complete range of optical types and distances. The 1+1 protection system automatically switches to the best fiber line within 50 milliseconds, should one line become impaired or fail.
Both product versions feature an independent serial link (RS-232) which is carried over the same fiber link(s), and can be used for transporting serial traffic from other equipment located at the remote point of presence (POP) back to the central office. Each unit also supports an independent RS-232 console port for local monitoring and configuration of the unit by technical support personnel.
