MRV EM316G/MX Gigabit Fiber Extender 2KM over Multimode

MRV NBase-Xyplex Fiber Driver Gigabit Ethernet multimode fiber extender card. This device has one dual SC 1000Base-SX port and one multimode dual SC port that can run Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber for kilometers! This product will actually let you use ethernet or FDDI multimode fiber runs. You must buy them in pairs. The standard for Gibgabit ethernet over 62.5 fiber is 275 M. This increases that to 2 Km, in many cases further than 2 KM. Distances over 5 Km have been reported. This card fits in any MRV, Xyplex or nBase Fiber driver chassis.

FEATURES

Allows transmission of Gigabit signals over FDDI-graded Multimode fiber
Guaranteed distance up to 2 km (Up to 6 km under ideal conditions)
Supports Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Fibre Channel, or FICON
SNMP managed
Hot swappable
Compatible with all appropriate protocol standards
Fits in all Fiber Driver chassis

The Fiber Driver Gigabit Multimode Extenders apply unique technology that allows the transmission of high-speed signals over Multimode fibers to distances much longer than the standard. This allows the use of high-speed backbone protocols over fiber that was originally used for FDDI.

Fiber optic cables for FDDI applications were typically laid in 2 km increments, since that was the distance limit for FDDI and Fast Ethernet on Multimode fiber. But with today's new high-speed backbone protocols, Multimode fiber's physical characteristics result in a maximum distance of 275 to 550 meters, depending on protocol and fiber size.

The Fiber Driver Gigabit Multimode Extenders offer solutions that are interoperable with all standard Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and FICON equipment. The Gigabit Multimode Extenders carry Gigabit links on existing Multimode fiber (FDDI graded) to distances of up to 2 km (and, depending on the quality of the fiber, they can provide links of up to 6 km).

GIGABIT ETHERNET MULTIMODE EXTENDER The Gigabit Ethernet Multimode Extender (EM316G/MX) extends the transmission of Gigabit Ethernet over existing Multimode fiber to distances of 2 km or more. Only with these modules is a migration from FDDI rings or Fast Ethernet networks to Gigabit Ethernet possible over multi-mode fiber. The current IEEE 802.3z standard for Gigabit Ethernet transmission on Multimode fiber is 275 meters on 62.5-micron fiber, or 550 meters on 50-micron fiber. Used in pairs, the EM316G/MX can be connected to any Gigabit Ethernet switch, router, or network adapter. Input distances from node to extenders can be from 2 to 550 meters.
