Typical ranges are calculated according to attenuation of 0.4 dB/km for 1310 nm, 
0.25 dB/km for 1550 nm and 3.5 dB/km for 850 nm multimode modules. 
Applications 
The Optimux-34 unit permits improved utilization of E3 links, both electrical and 
optical, due to its capability to multiplex 16 channels. Five of the most frequently 
used applications are depicted in

Point-to-Point Application 
In

, a company campus line or a line leased from a local operator is 
used to link two Optimux-34 units situated at a distance ranging from several 
hundreds of meters to several tens of kilometers. A backup link is optionally used 
to ensure uninterrupted data flow between the two sites. The Optimux-34 at 
each site is connected to E1 access equipment like PBXs and 64 kbps 
multiplexers.
