iConverter T1/E1
T1/E1 Managed Media Converter
The iConverter T1/E1 media converter provides standard T1
(1.544Mbps) or E1 (2.048Mbps) copper to ber conversion
and can be used to extend the demarcation point between
service provider and networking equipment. T1/E1 media
converters operate in pairs, extending distances over ber,
which improves noise immunity, quality of service, intrusion
protection and network security.
The T1/E1 supports Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers,
enabling adaptability to different ber types, distances and
wavelengths, providing maximum exibility across a variety
of network architectures and topologies. Support for SFP
transceivers increases the bandwidth capacity of fiber
access infrastructure by incorporating Coarse Wave Division
Multiplexing (CWDM) technology. CWDM SFPs provide
wavelength conversion enabling multiplexing of up to 16
wavelengths on the same ber pair. The same media converter
can utilize a variety of SFPs for different wavelengths and
distances, reducing costs and simplifying inventories.
The T1/E1 also supports a variety of xed ber connectors for
multimode, single-mode and single-mode single-ber.
Designed as a transparent repeater, the iConverter T1/E1
supports standard T1, E1 and Primary Rate Interface (PRI),
voice or data. The converter also supports AMI, B8ZS and
HDB3 line codes. DIP-switches provide easy conguration of
T1/E1 line codes and line build-out.
The iConverter T1/E1 features user-selectable Local Loopback,
Force 1s to Copper, Force 1s to Fiber, and Fiber Optic Test
modes to facilitate diagnosis of the remote unit, eliminating
the cost of external hardware or support personnel at each
end of a link.
The copper interface features an RJ48 connector for balanced
T1/E1 applications, and models featuring coaxial BNC
connectors are available for unbalanced E1 applications.
The iConverter T1/E1 is available as a compact, unmanaged
standalone unit with an RJ48 interface or as a chassis
managed plug-in module with RJ48 or coax interface. The hot-
swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a 19-Module (2U
high) or 5-Module (1U high) rack-mountable chassis (19-inch
or 23-inch) with any combination of redundant AC, 24VDC or
48VDC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module
AC or 18 to 60VDC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module AC/
DC powered chassis.
As a standalone unit, the T1/E1 is available as a wall-mount
unit. The wall-mount models are DC powered and are available
with an external AC/DC power adapter or a terminal connector
for DC power.
