Single Fiber WDM Converters
Signamax Connectivity Systems’ Switching Single Fiber Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) Media
Converters with Link Fault Signaling allow data typically carried over two strands of fiber optic
cable to be carried over a single strand of fiber optic cable, utilizing two different wavelengths
to carry signals in both directions simultaneously. This technology doubles the capacity of
a company's fiber optic network, allowing a carrier or an enterprise business to minimize its
operational costs by eliminating or delaying the deployment of additional fiber optic capacity.
These converters are available in Single Mode only, and span distances of up to 20 kilometerswith
the 065-1176ALFS and 065-1176BLFS models.
Since WDM Switching Media Converters utilize two different wavelengths with one end of a circuit
transmitting on the other end’s receive frequency (and vice versa), they must be used in A/B pairs.
A circuit utilizing these converters would therefore use a single strand of Single Mode fiber optic
cable plus one each of the 065-1176ALFS and 065-1176BLFS depending upon the distance
spanned. All Signamax WDM converters are equipped with Link Fault Signaling to provide the
means for an SNMP-managed switch to recognize a failure on a fiber channel or twisted-pair
connection, enabling the switch to automatically route to a backup path if the connected switch
is equipped with Spanning Tree Algorithm. Each WDM Media Converter provides a 10/100BaseT/TX
auto-negotiating RJ45 twisted-pair connector port, and features store-and-forward switching
architecture. Auto-MDIX capability on the twisted-pair port is also provided for convenient
connections.
