The iConverter 100FF is a Fast Ethernet fiber-to-fiber converter/transponder available as a compact, unmanaged standalone unit or a managed chassis plug-in module. The iConverter 100FF provides a cost-effective solution to extend fiber network distances with multimode to single-mode, dual fiber to single-fiber, and wavelength (850/1310 and 1310/1550) conversion.

The iConverter 100FF supports a constant data rate signal from 1Mbps to 100Mbps allowing the converter to be used in Ethernet networks as well as other fiber-to-fiber protocol applications. Both ports operate at the same date rate.

iConverter 100FF models support multimode and single-mode dual fiber with ST and SC connectors; and single-mode single-fiber with SC connectors.

The 100FF features user-selectable Link Propagate and Remote Fault Detection modes to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.

iConverter 100FF media converters are available as compact, unmanaged standalone units, or chassis plug-in modules that can be managed with a Management Module (NMM2) or Network Interface Device (NID) installed in the chassis. The management module provides access to all the advanced features on the module.

The management software can override the physical DIP-switch settings such as link modes. Some of the real-time 100FF parameters that can be monitored include power, link, data activity status, module type and model, hardware and software revisions, serial numbers and a user-defined identifier.

The 100FF standalone models are available with an external AC to DC power adapter or with a 2-pin terminal connector for direct connection to DC power. The standalone module can be DIN-Rail mounted using the optional DIN-Rail mounting clips (8251-0).

The hot-swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module iConverter chassis with 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 iConverter Multi-Service Platform consists of Network Interface Devices, T1/E1 multiplexers, CWDM/DWDM multiplexers and managed media converters that combine to deliver Carrier Ethernet and TDM services over fiber or CWDM/DWDM wavelengths. This flexible architecture supports a wide variety of configurations for scalable and reliable fiber connectivity in Service Provider and Enterprise networks.

Networks often require conversion from multimode to single-mode fiber, which supports longer distances. In this application, two Ethernet switches equipped with multimode fiber ports are connected utilizing a pair of fiber-to-fiber converters which convert the multimode fiber to single-mode and enable network connectivity across the distance between the switches.
