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 OC3FF fiber-to-fiber media converter is an inexpensive and reliable solution, especially when compared to upgrading SONET node equipment. The OC3FF provides wavelength conversion from 1310nm to 1550nm, and amplifies the optical power to span the distance in longer ringsegments.

iConverter OC3FF (Data Sheet)

iConverter OC3FF Plug-in (User Manual)

iConverter OC3FF Standalone (User Manual)

The iConverter OC3FF is an OC-3/STM-1 fiber-to-fiber converter/transponder available as a compact, unmanaged standalone unit or a managed chassis plug-in module. The iConverter OC3FF provides a cost-effective solution to extend fiber network distances with multimode to single-mode, dual fiber to single-fiber, and wavelength (1310/1550) conversion.

The iConverter OC3FF supports a constant data rate signal from 1Mbps to 155Mbps allowing the converter to be used in SONET networks as well as other fiber-to-fiber protocol applications. Both ports operate at the same data rate.

iConverter OC3FF models support multimode and single-mode dual fiber with ST and SC connectors; and single-mode single-fiber with SC connectors.

User-selectable Link Propagate and Remote Fault Detection modes facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.

iConverter OC3FF media converters are available as compact, unmanaged standalone units, or chassis plug-in modules that can be managed with a Management Module (NMM2) or Network Interface Device (NID) installed in the chassis. The management module provides access to all the advanced features on the module.

The management software can override the physical DIPswitch settings such as link modes. Some of the real-time OC3FF 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 OC3FF standalone models are available with an external AC to DC power adapter or with a 2-pin terminal connector for direct connection to DC power. The standalone module can be DIN-Rail mounted using the optional DIN-Rail mounting clips (8251-0).

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