Transition Point System Slide-In-Module Media Converters offer a low cost transport capability for four T1/E1, one Ethernet, and one RS232 data channel line (x4TEF10XX-11X). The offering will provide copper connections compatible with G.703, AMI/B8ZS/HDB3, 10/100BASE-TX, as well as RS232 channel; while the optical connection will run at 155Mbps. TDM traffic is not mapped to Ethernet. A hardware-based solution guarantees the constant bit rate of TDM transport without requiring traffic management. The product provides physical layer status monitoring and alarm classification functions for Telecom operators to manage their fiber optic network and reduce operation and maintenance costs. Target applications of the converter include: FTTx, such as Fiber-to-the-Business, Fiber-to-the-Building, Fiber-to-the-MDU and Fiber-to-the-Home.
