Single-Fiber, Bi-Directional Single-Mode

Converters for Gigabit and Fast Ethernet

Canary’s Media Converters with Single-Fiber Bi-Directional Single-

mode Connectors deliver long-range data access over single-mode

segments while using a single strand of Fiber cable. CCM Single

Fiber converters are designed to free-up fiber capacity by using

dual transmission wavelengths over a single strand of a duplex fiber

pair. They are ideal for data intensive backbones in the enterprise

or across the campus where extra fiber capacity is lacking but

redundancy or additional access is needed to add channels or

alternate protocols.

CCM-1600 Single-Fiber, Bi-Directional Converters are functionally

identical to standard units with the exception that versions designated

with an A transmit at 1550 ηm and receive on 1310 ηm, while B

units transmit at 1310 ηm and receive on 1550 ηm. Single-Fiber

converters must be connected as complementary A & B pairs. (A

and B units must be ordered in pairs because every A unit must be

connected to a B unit.) For a properly functioning fiber link, one

unit A must be purchased and installed on one end and one unit B

must be purchased and installed at the other end. Similarly,

Standalone or CCN-2000/CCN-0400 chassis A & B units, can also

be connected to complementary A & B modules used in the CCM-

1600 Chassis.
