SUN Server Gigabit Fiber Application

In this application example, a SUN X2100 Server is connected to another X2100 and three SPARC Workstations.

A 1U high iConverter 5-Module chassis is co-located in the rack with the X2100 on the left side of the illustration. Four iConverter GX/TM2 plug-in media converter modules are installed in the chassis, converting the copper cabling from the X2100 10/100/1000 UTP ports to fiber.

The two servers are connected via dual fiber over a distance of 80 kilometers, and a standalone GX/TM2 converts the fiber back to copper at the remote location.

The three workstations are also connected to the server via dual fiber at a distance of 550 meters, enabling Gigabit fiber to the desktop, and extending the workstation environment past the 100 meter limit of copper cabling.
