Deploying an all optical network in largemetropolitan areas (or other scenarios wheresignificant distances are involved) requires anextremely high investment, mainly due to thecost of fibres. Implementing WDM technologiesreduces significantly the cost of the fibre plantthus having an immediate impact on the costof entire entire network. The S.CON1/SM/F1utilizes cost efficient 2:1 multiplexing, allowingbi-directional traffic over a single fibre strand,resulting in savings of up to 50% on the fibreplant. This compact size device implements theinnovative BMD (Buffered Media Domain)technology to provide an unconditioned networkextension over s/m fibre of 20Km, in any networkarchitecture (even when such includes repeaters).Its copper port is auto-sensing to provide easymigration from 10Mbps to 100Mbps transmissionrates making it ideal for different types of userswithout need for special adaptation. Specialattention was given to allow easy installationand maintenance: MDI-II/MDI-X switch toeliminate crossed cables, internal quality powersupply,extensive front-panel diagnostics andmore. No PDV calculation need to be performedprior to implementing in a network - fullperformance is always guaranteed.All these features ensure trouble-free deploymentthus minimizing truck rolls. |
