iMcV-DS3/E3/STS

Protocol-selectable DS3/E3/STS Coax-to-

Fiber media converters extend transmission

distances over fiber optics and reduces

operational costs with remote end

management.

Product Overview

iMcV-DS3/E3/STS converters are perfect for service providers and

enterprise campus networks utilizing DS3/E3/STS coaxial circuits.

The modules enable users to convert coax media to single-mode

fiber and extend the distance of data transmissions over MAN access

networks up to 80 km. The modules support premises networking

applications to convert the incoming circuit to fiber for distribution into

the structured cabling system.

Choose from versions offering repeater-like functionality or Line-

Terminating functionality, including standards compliant Alarm

Indication Signals (AIS) for signal loss condition propagation.

The iMcV-DS3/E3/STS LineTerm modules are installed as a HOST-

REMOTE pair and can be remotely managed when the HOST is

installed in an iMediaChassis with an SNMP–Management Module.

This enables network managers to conduct loopback testing, to

monitor, and to manage units located up to 80 km away. Since B&B

Electronics’ management technology functions transparently to the

user data, real-time, end-to-end management is provided at all times.

Features

Switch Selectable Protocol

• Operates at 45 Mbps (DS3), 34 Mbps (E3) or

52 Mbps (STS-1)

• Two versions to choose from:

» Standard Version - offers repeater-like

functionality

» Line Terminating Version - supports

“Telco” features, including Alarm Indication

Signals (AIS)

Management

• Conduct loopback tests, monitor/manage units

via GUI-Based iView² or Web Server

• based iView² V.3.0

• Remote unit supports secure, out-of-band

management

• Diagnostic LEDs

Supports more fiber choices

• Available for multi-mode or single-mode fiber

• Single-strand fiber versions

• Supports very long fiber distances

Eases Troubleshooting

• Loopback testing modes, plus SNMP

management and LEDs, assist in diagnosing

problems on fiber optic networks

• Supports fiber and coax remote loopback control

• Internal test-head function for transmitting and

detecting PRBS test patterns.

• LED Line Diagnostics

• Supports Far End Fault (FEF)* -

(LineTerm version only)

*FEF provides a local LED indication when a

fault exists at the equipment at the far end of

the optical link.

* For Telco environments, it is not recommended that the

iMcV-DS3/E3/STS converters be installed in an IE-MediaChassis/1-

DC. The power source in this chassis is not isolated, and cannot

support positive reference ground systems typically used in Telco

environments. The MediaChassis/2-DC and the iMediaChassis/6-DC

are suitable alternatives.
