The media converter converts signals for transmission on one type of cable to signals
for transmission on another type of cable. This allows IT personnel to connect longer
distance fiber cables between devices that are designed only for shorter distance
cables, such as the Cat. 5 twisted-pair cable.
The WDM media converters use the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
single wavelength single-fiber technology for connection to avoid budget losses.
These media converters are used in pair; each pair combines transmission (Tx) and
reception (Rx) signals into one fiber strand using two wavelengths.
Each media converter is housed in a solid metal case, complete with LED status
indicators and AC to DC power adapter. It can be used as stand-alone converter, or
installed in a chassis. In case it is installed in the chassis, the metal case must be
removed and the PC board is slid into a chassis slot. The chassis’s power supply will
be used instead of the media converters’ own AC to DC power adapters. All media
converters are hot swappable when used with the chassis.
A management option is available for installation in the chassis with. The management
module lets users monitor in real-time the status of all media converters and power
supplies in the chassis. It also sends out alarms to alert users of abnormal situations.
Management follows industry standards, including SNMP and http, allowing users to
monitor and manage from a third-party SNMP management workstation or via a web
browser.
