A.5 FRM220-E1/T1 In-band Managed G.703 Fiber Media Converter (to be announced)
The FRM-E1 and FRM-T1 are high-performance G.703 E1 or T1 (DS1) over fiber media converters. These
converters fully support transparent transmissions of 2.048Mbps (or 1.544Mbps for T1) and completely handle
clocking in point-to-point or network applications. Additionally, the converters may be linked to FRM-DATA
converters in unframed E1 (T1) at fixed data rate of 2048Kbps (1544Kbps for T1).
There are three models of FRM-E1 and FRM-T1 media converters, E1-BNC, E1-RJ-45, and T1-RJ-45. The E1-
BNC model supports coaxial connections with BNC connectors at 75 ohm impedance, while the E1-RJ-45 model
accepts twisted pair wiring at 120 ohm impedance on a shielded RJ-45 connector wired to industry standard USOC
RJ-48C. The T1 model sports an RJ-48C for twisted pair wiring at 100 ohms impedance.
There is one 4 position DIP switch located on the face of the FRM-E1 and FRM-T1 to configure the units when
used standalone. When the FRM-E1 and FRM-T1 are placed in the FRM220 with SNMP, the settings are controlled
by the chassis management system and any DIP settings are ignored. Additionally, when placed in the managed
rack, the remotely linked FRM-E1 and FRM-T1 units are also controlled and configured through the in-band
management system.
The FRM-E1 is a fiber media transport for G.703 E1 transmission. The BNC model provides unbalanced 75
Ohm coaxial connections while the RJ-45 model provides balanced 120 Ohm connections over twisted pair wiring.
The FRM-T1 is a fiber media transport for G.703 T1 transmission and features an RJ-45 connector for connection to
100 Ohm twisted pair wiring. All media converters are available with either multi-mode or single-mode optical
transceivers and with connectors for SC, ST, or FC. In single mode, WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing with SC
connector) is also available in 20 or 40KM reach which will provide the ability to transmit and receive data using
only a single optical fiber. A unique feature of the FRM-E1 and FRM-T1 converters is the use of a common PCB
card which may either be used as a standalone converter (FMC series) or placed in the FRM220 rack.
