Canary’s Gigabit,
Single-Fiber Bi-
Directional Single-
mode converters
deliver long-range
Gigabit data access
over single fiber
strand, single
mode segments.
GFT 1037A/B
converters are
designed to free-
up fiber capacity by using dual 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.
Canary’s Single-Fiber, Bi-Directional converters are functionally
identical to standard units with the exception that units designated
with an A (GFT-1037A) transmit at 1550 ηm and receive on
1310 ηm, while B units (GFT-1037B) 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.) Similarly,
standalone A & B units can be connected to complementary A & B
modules used in the CCN-2000/0400 or CCM-1600 Chassis
families. Canary Gigabit Single-Fiber converters are available with
20 or 40 kilometer transmission ranges.

* NOTE: GFT-1037X / GFT-1037E4X standalone converters are available as card modules for Canary’s CCM-1600 and CCN-2000 / CCN-0400 Chassis models.
Please refer to the CCM-1600 and CCN-2000 / CCN-0400 Data Sheets for more information.
More versions of the GFT-1037A/B series may be found on the Canary web site as they become available.
