The iConverter OC12FF is a OC-12/STM-4 fiber-to-fiber media converter available as a compact, unmanaged standalone unit or a managed chassis plug-in module. The iConverter OC12FF provides a cost-effective solution to extend fiber network distances with multimode to single-mode, dual fiber to singlefiber, and wavelength (850/1310 and 850/1550) conversion.

iConverter OC12FF models support multimode and singlemode dual fiber; and single-mode single-fiber with SC connectors. The single-mode fiber port supports distances up to 80km and the multimode fiber port supports 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 hot-swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a high-density 19 or 5-Module chassis with 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 to DC power adapter, or it can be directly powered using a 2-pin terminal connector.

The iConverter Multi-Service Platform consists of Network Interface Devices, T1/E1 multiplexers, CWDM multiplexers and managed media converters that combine to deliver Carrier Ethernet and TDM services over fiber or CWDM wavelengths. This flexible architecture supports a wide variety of configurations for scalable and reliable fiber connectivity in Service Provider and Enterprise networks.

When fiber rings must extend beyond the standard 1310nm wavelength capability, a longer wavelength with increased optical power can extend SONET ring distances.

The iConverter OC12FF fiber-to-fiber media converter is an inexpensive and reliable solution, especially when compared to upgrading SONET node equipment. The OC12FF provides wavelength conversion from 1310nm to 1550nm, and amplifies the optical power to span the distance in longer ring segments.

The iConverter OC12FF plug-in module can be used in managed or unmanaged applications. Management provides remote configuration, monitoring and trap notification. Management of the OC12FF plug-in module is accomplished by installing an iConverter Management Module (NMM2) or Network Interface Device (NID) in the same chassis.

The Management Module can be accessed via SNMP, Telnet, and serial port. The OC12FF can be managed with Omnitron’s intuitive, graphic-oriented NetOutlook SNMP Management Software or third party SNMP management software. Management via the Telnet and the serial interfaces have an easy-to-use, menu-driven interface.

The management software can override the physical DIP-switch settings such as link modes. Some of the real-time OC12FF parameters that can be monitored include power, link, data activity status, module type and model, hardware and software revisions, serial numbers and a user-defined identifier.

The iConverter OC12FF supports SNMP trap notification for the monitoring and notification of different network events. Specific events that generate traps include module insertion and removal, and port link-up and link-down. Trap monitoring of specific events can be selectively enabled or disabled by the network management software.
