DESCRIPTION
The L321 is a managed UTP-to-Fiber Media Converter. It extends 100BASE-T
UTP segments with fiber optic cable. The L321 extends the interconnection
between switches or stations up to 120km.
The L321 is
especially suited for the long-distance extension of Full Duplex LAN
segments. It supports 1310nm MM/SM, and 1550nm SM optics, and works with
all popular sizes of single mode and multimode fiber optic cables.
The L321
features management capabilities via Side-Band Management Channel (SBMC)
independent of customer data (See table below). This user-enabled channel
enables the exchange of status and commands between the local and remote
link partners
A Link Loss
Forwarding (LLF) fiber break propagation feature allows optical signal
loss at the receiver to be detected as a UTP
port management agent.
Primary
application is the interconnection of 100Mbps Enterprise Switches and
Service Provider Backbone Networks, using the fiber optic based, SNMP
manageable Universal Chassis System (UCS). Within the UCS platform, the
L321 addresses the Service Providers' requirements for Transparent LAN
Services across a widely dispersed customer environment, and physical
plant.
