iConverter Features Overview
iConverter Management System
iConverter media converters are part of the iConverter Multi-Service Platform that includes transponders (wavelength converters), T1/E1 multiplexers and CWDM multiplexers. These fiber connectivity modules can be integrated into a variety of chassis configurations to create a flexible and scalable multi-service platform capable of delivering Ethernet, TDM and other services over existing fiber networks.
Select iConverter modules support pluggable optical transceivers. Omnitron SFP, SFP+ and XFP optical transceivers are compact, interchangeable fiber transceivers that enable connectivity to a wide variety of fiber optic cables and wavelengths. Omnitron Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Optical Transceivers enable Omnitron media converters to function as wavelength transponders and provide connectivity between legacy network equipment and iConverter CWDM Multiplexers.
iConverter Chassis Options
iConverter media converter modules can be installed in a variety of chassis configurations for flexible fiber network connectivity. Media converter, CWDM and copper switch modules can be installed in a high-density chassis for the network core, and compact chassis or standalone modules for the network edge.
