1.6 Applications / Capabilities
In the following example, the Fiber Multiplexer utilizes an optical fiber connection between
a pair of units to provide 4, 8, 12 or 16 channels of E1, T1, Datacom, or 1 to 4 channels of Ethernet
Bridge between the units.
The timing scheme for typical E1 or T1 equipment is to transparently pass timing from a
timing source unit on one side, to a timing slaved unit on the other. Each of the up to 16 available
channels of the Fiber Multiplexer is independent of any other channel for framing or timing. For
datacom channels (V.35, X.21, etc.) full timing configuration is possible to either provide clock,
receive clock or to transparently pass clock from one device to the other.
