T1/E1 Copper to Fiber Media Converter

The T1/E1 Copper to Fiber Media Converter enables the deployment of fiber into campus or industrial environments; allowing network distances of up to 8,000 meters. This deployment of fiber into these environments provides a cost-effective solution and allows for the standardization on fiber as a media type. This is especially significant in industrial environments where fiber is immune to electrostatic interference "noise".

Features

• Converts the copper ports on T1/E1 devices, such as a PBX or T1/E1 Router, to multimode or single mode fiber.
  
• Extends distances 2,000 meters over multimode fiber or 8,000 meters over single mode fiber.
  
• Switch selectable RJ-45 connectors for T1, and two Coax E1 connectors. Jitter attenuators optimize Bit Error Rate (BER) performance.
  
• Loopback switch facilitates installation.
  
• Network debug procedures make BER testing more convenient. Built-in troubleshooting with the addition of a selectable TAOS (Transmit All Ones) switch on the fiber and twisted pair interfaces allows the network engineer to test all T1/E1 equipment on that network segment and ensure the network link.
  
• Dry relay contacts enable the media converter to be tied into a separate alarm circuit commonly found in a T1/E1 environment. Contacts will be activated on loss of power or loss of fiber link. An LED provides Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) indication.

Applications

Extend Network Distances: Extend distances over 2,000 meters using 850nm optics and multimode fiber, and 8,000 meters using 1300nm optics and single mode fiber.
