Product Description

The EM316T1 and the EM316E1 modules of the Fiber Driver Family are Fiber Modems designed to extend the distance and transmission reliability of T1 (1.544Mbps) or E1 (2.048Mbps) traffic. These units convert the electrical signals to optical signals and transmit them over distances of up to 4km on multimode fiber, or distances of up to 100km on singlemode fiber. The EM316T1 and EM316E1 are transparent to the framing format, and support AMI or B8ZS (T1) and HDB3 (E1) line codes respectively. They include an internal elastic buffer to remove jitter from transmit data. Six LED indicators help monitoring and trouble-shooting, and a management agent is incorporated on the module to enable remote in-band and out-of-band control and management in conjunction with the Fiber Driver SNMP management card.

The EM316E1/T1 single fiber modules use unique technology that provides the ability to combine TX and RX signals onto a single fiber strand. This effectively doubles the available fiber in a network and eliminates the need for additional fiber connections. An identical unit is required on the other end, using either standard APC (Angled PC) patch cords finish or a 3M VAR APC finish. The standard APC finish provides a <-60dB back reflection, whereas the 3M VAR exceeds –70dB. Both APC finishes are polished to an 8o angle and minimize back reflection by forcing the reflected rays into the cladding.

The Fiber Driver family provides conversion solutions with greater distances and better manageability than any other products on the market. Multimode to Singlemode fiber conversion modules offers link distances from 0 km to 100 km.
