The LL802 media converter range is designed to adapt conventional copper data networks to optical fibre.
These converters support twisted pair RJ-45 connectors for the copper system and flat polished duplex SC/PC fibre optic connectors for the optical network. This facilitates the use of conventional or legacy switching and routing equipment with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps copper interfaces and converts these at minimum cost to fibre optic trunk lines.
The units are available for multimode fibres or for single mode fibres. Very long distances are possible if the media converters are operated in full duplex mode. Collision domain limitations no longer apply for full duplex fibre links between ethernet switches. Using single mode fibres, distances of 20, 30, 50 km or more are readily achievable.
ATM media converters and serial data media converters are also available in the same housing style.
The standard units use two fibres, one to send data and one to receive data. Options are available for bi-directional operation over one single mode fibre core, using 1550 nm in one direction and 1310 nm in the other. |
