The iConverter OC12FF managed media converter provides multimode to single-mode and dual to single fiber conversion, and is a cost-effective solution for extending SONET/SDH network distances.

iConverter OC12FF models are available with multimode, single-mode, and single-fiber options. The single-mode fiber port supports SC connectors and distances up to 80km. The multimode fiber port supports SC connectors and distances up to 550m.

The iConverter OC12FF features user-selectable Link Propagate and Remote Fault Detection modes to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.

The iConverter OC12FF is available as a compact, unmanaged standalone unit, or as a chassis plug-in module that can be managed with a management module installed in the chassis. The hot-swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a high-density 19 or 5-Module chassis with any combination of redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or DC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input.

The standalone OC12FF can be wall-mounted and is DC powered. It can be ordered with an external AC/DC power adapter, or it can be directly powered using a 2-pin terminal connector.

Management of the plug-in module is accomplished by using a Management Module (such as an iConverter NMM2 or 10/100M2) that provides monitoring, configuration and trap notification. The management module can be accessed via SNMP, Telnet, or serial port. The SNMP-based management is accomplished via Omnitron’s intuitive, graphic-oriented NetOutlook management software or third party SNMP management software, while the Telnet and the serial interfaces have an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface.

Real-time OC12FF parameters that can be monitored include power, link, data receive status, module type and model, hardware and software revisions, serial numbers and a user-defined identifier.

The user can override the OC12FF module’s physical DIP-switch settings by using SNMP or Telnet to configure DIP-switch-selectable parameters such as Link Propagate or Remote Fault Detection.

In addition to all standard iConverter SNMP traps such as module insertion and removal, the OC12FF modules can generate traps on port state changes including link-up and link-down. Trap monitoring of specific events can be selectively enabled or disabled by the network administrator.

For wide temperature (-40 to 60º C), add a "W" to the end of the model number.
Consult factory for extended temperature (-40 to +75º C) models.
When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models, the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx wavelength on the other.
*A minimum of 3dB of attenuation is required for these models.
