Standalone NIDS
iConverter Standalone NIDs are designed to provide securely managed connectivity between the Service Provider’s fiber link and the Customer’s UTP Equipment.
Multi-Module NIDs
Plug-in modules enable flexible chassis configurations to support multi-port and multi-customer Ethernet demarcation. The modular architecture of iConverter NIDs allows Service Providers to adapt to customer needs, and lowers equipment costs compared to fixed configuration demarcation devices.
1+5 Fiber to UTP module and 4-Port UTP Switch Module
iConverter 10/100M2 and a 4TxVT modules are installed in a 2-Module Chassis. The modules share data via the Ethernet Backplane of the chassis. This configuration provides a 100Mbps fiber uplink port and five 10/100Mbps customer-facing UTP Ports.
2+4 Fiber to Fiber module and 4-Port UTP Switch Module
iConverter 2FXM2 and a 4TxVT modules are installed in a 2-Module Chassis. The modules share data via the Ethernet Backplane of the chassis. This configuration provides a 100Mbps fiber uplink port, four 10/100Mbps customer-facing UTP Ports, plus a customer 100Mbps fiber port. This configuration can also function as a demarcation node in a fiber ring with a fiber uplink port, a fiber downlink port and 4 customer UTP ports.
1+3 Fiber to UTP module installed in a 1-Module Redundant Power Chassis with two optional UTP ports
An iConverter 10/100M2 is installed in a 1-Module Redundant Power Chassis. The chassis backplane connects the module to the chassis UTP ports. This configuration provides a 100Mbps fiber uplink port and three 10/100Mbps customer-facing UTP Ports. The chassis also supports Power over Ethernet via the UTP port.
2+2 Fiber to fiber module installed in a 1-Module Redundant Power Chassis with two optional UTP ports
An iConverter 2FXM2 is installed in a 1-Module Redundant Power Chassis. The chassis backplane connects the module to the chassis UTP ports. This configuration provides a 100Mbps fiber uplink port, two 10/100Mbps customer-facing UTP Ports, plus a customer 100Mbps fiber port. This configuration can also function as a demarcation node in a fiber ring with a fiber uplink port, a fiber downlink port and 2 customer UTP ports. The chassis also supports Power over Ethernet via the UTP port.
