Omnitron Systems Coax to Fiber Media Converter

The iConverter STM1 copper-to-fiber media converter converts 155.52 Mbps STM-1e coax to STM-1 fiber. It can be used in Telecom or Enterprise applications where STM-1 or OC-3 transport is required beyond the maximum distance of copper (approximately 70m).

The copper port provides two mini-BNC 75Ω coax connectors that comply with the ITU-T G.703 and Telcordia GR-253 standards for CMI coded 155.52 Mbps electrical interfaces. Adapter cables are included to convert the mini-BNC connectors to standard BNC type connectors.

The fiber port accepts any standard, MSA compatible 155.52 Mbps Small Form Pluggable (SFP). Please refer to Omnitron's SFP data sheet for standard STM-1/OC-3 and CWDM wavelength SFPs for ordering information.

The iConverter STM1 media converter is available as a compact, unmanaged standalone unit, or as a chassis managed plug-in module. The hot-swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module chassis with any combination of redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or DC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input.

The standalone unit is wall-mountable. It is DC powered and is available with an external AC/DC power adapter or a terminal connector for direct DC power.

The iConverter Multi-Service Platform consists of Network Interface Devices, T1/E1 multiplexers, CWDM multiplexers and managed media converters that combine to deliver Carrier Ethernet and TDM services over fiber or CWDM wavelengths. This flexible architecture supports a wide variety of configurations for scalable and reliable fiber connectivity in Service Provider and Enterprise networks.
