Media Connect Systems
The Media
Connect chassis (NC316-2SFP16) from MRV Communications combines protocol
transparent connectivity with support for Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
optical transceivers. With its high-density form factor, a single unit can
manage up to 16 separate data channels (32 data ports) in just 1 U of rack
space.
The design of the NC316-2SFP16 enables the implementation of a
wide range of optical infrastructure solutions from media conversion and signal
boosting to lambda conversion and Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM), all within a
fully managed platform.
Creating a data connection with the SFP Media
Connect is plug-n-play easy. Two SFP transceivers are simply inserted into a set
of paired slots in the chassis and then connected to the network. There is no
additional setup required. Changing the connection type later on only requires
changing the SFP transceivers. And with the hot swappable functionality SFP
transceivers there is virtually no down time involved.
The Fiber Driver
SFP Media Connect automatically and transparently handles data connections with
rates from 100 Mbps to 2.7 Gbps (100 MHz to 2.7 GHz) while performing 2R
(reshape and retransmit) signal conditioning. It is compatible with Fast and
Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, ESCON, SONET (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and OC-48 with FEC),
Fibre Channel (1 Gbps & 2 Gbps), Serial Digital Video Interface (SDI)
SMPTPE-269 and SMTPE-292, DVB, HDTV (1.5 Gbps), and any other protocol within
the range.
Used in conjunction with an external Mux/Demux unit - such as
the 4- or 8-channel Fiber Driver CWDM Passive Mux/Demux (EM316PA4N / EM316PA8N)
- and configured with corresponding wavelength-specific SFPs, the NC316-2SFP16
can be used to build a highly flexible and scalable WDM solution for any
combination of supported protocols.
The SFP Media Connect fully supports
the SFP standard including digital diagnostics as per SFF-8472. Together with
the Fiber Driver Pluggable Media Connect management module (EM316NM-PMC), it is
able to provide real-time access to information such as transceiver type
(protocol, range, vendor, etc.), transceiver temperature, TX/RX optical power,
and transceiver supply voltage. It also provides a means for generating
management alerts and warnings when system parameters fall outside of the normal
operating range.
