DS3/E3/STS-1 Modules
DS3/E3/STS-1 Modules for the High-Density Media Converter
System II provide conversion from BNC coax cable to fiber for DS3,
E3, or STS-1 applications.
They’re ideal in Municipal Area Network (MAN) access
applications, for linking buildings over a campus area network,
or anywhere incoming coaxial circuits need to be converted to fiber
for distribution. Use fiber to extend high-speed coax circuits at greater
distances and never worry about interference.
The modules are selectable for DS3 (45 Mbps), E3 (34 Mbps),
or STS-1 (52 Mbps) and support half- or full duplex operation.
Advanced line conditioning and jitter removal features ensure
maximum throughput.
Fiber loopback and coax loopback test capabilities enable you to
troubleshoot remote units from a central location. The modules also
include FiberAlert for troubleshooting the fiber link and a transmit
data source diagnostic feature, which by sending specific patterns
of data, enables you to identify problems with the attached cable.

SFP/SFP Mode Converter Module
Item Code
High-Density Media Converter System II SFP/SFP Mode Converter Module
(1) SFP Slot to (1) SFP Slot
LMC5601C-2SFP
The SFP/SFP Mode Converter Module is a dual SFP-port, SNMP-
manageable module that you use to incorporate multiple fiber types
and wavelengths within a network. It enables you to use SFPs to con-
vert between different wavelengths or single-mode to multimode
fiber, single-mode to single-mode fiber, or multimode to single-strand
single-mode fiber.
