Fiber Connectivity for Enterprise LAN and Campus Networks
Omnitron media converters provide seamless integration of copper and fiber in Enterprise LAN and WAN networks. Omnitron's managed and unmanaged fiber conversion products support a wide variety of protocols, data rates and media types to create a more reliable and cost-effective network. The modular design and flexible configurations enable scalable fiber implementation with high-density chassis for the network core, and compact chassis or standalone modules for the network edge.
Omnitron’s iConverter CWDM networking products are an ideal and cost-effective solution for increasing bandwidth capacity of existing fiber infrastructure. These modular CWDM products multiplex up to sixteen independent wavelengths over a single fiber optic connection (either a fiber pair or a single fiber). iConverter CWDM modules utilize a small and scalable plug-in form factor, and can be installed in any powered or unpowered iConverter chassis achieving some of the highest port densities in the industry. The modules are designed to be integrated with other iConverter media converters and transponders to provide a true multi-service platform capable of delivering Ethernet, TDM, SONET and other services across a CWDM common link.
Enterprise Networks Supported

iConverter Fiber Connectivity for Next Generation Networks
Voice over IP, video over IP and server-based applications are stretching the bandwidth demands of Enterprise networks. With security issues, VLAN technology and network management, the issues facing network managers grow even more complex. Fiber optic connectivity in campus networks solves the distance and bandwidth issues of the physical media, but how to connect to UTP-based network equipment and support next-generation services?
iConverter media converters and Network Interface Devices (NIDs) provide the advanced features and management capabilities to future-proof the evolving Enterprise network:
- IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service Prioritization for real-time voice and video over Ethernet.
- IEEE 802.1Q Tag VLAN technology
- Bandwidth Control on each port for upstream and downstream bandwidth allocation
- Port Access Control for disabling individual port access while maintaining port configuration for easy port re-enabling
- Auto-Negotiation of duplex modes, data rates and pause capabilities for easy installation and configuration
- Comprehensive link fault detection modes to quickly trouble-shoot network links
