Features 
Optimux-106 is a compact 1U high, ½ 19-inch wide unit that multiplexes four T1 
channels and an optional 10/100BaseT USER Ethernet port over a T2 fiber optic 
uplink. 
The unit transmits over multimode, single-mode, or single mode over single fiber 
(WDM) using LED, VCSEL, or laser diode transmitters for a range up to 120 km 
(74.5 miles). 
Optimux-106 can be ordered with two uplink interfaces, where the second link 
interface operates as a backup for the main link. The user can select automatic 
switching to the backup or manual selection of the desired link interface. 
Optimux-106 can be powered from 100-240 VAC or -40 to -72 VDC power 
supplies. Two independent power supplies can be installed for redundancy. 
The device can be managed using an ASCII terminal, an SNMP management 
station, or an Ethernet link using Telnet or a Web-based management interface. 
Optimux-106 conforms to the following standards: ITU G.703, G.824, G.955,  
IEEE 802.3.
