Description

The L311 is a managed UTP-to-Fiber Media Converter. It extends 10BASE-T UTP segments with fiber optic cable. The L311 extends the interconnection between switches or stations up to 100km. The L311 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 L311 features management capabilities via Side-Band Management Channel (SBMC) independent of customer data. This user-enabled channel enables the exchange of commands and control between the local and remote link partners. A serial port for VT100 access is also provided for point-to-point applications.

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 10Mbps Enterprise Switches and Service Provider Backbone Networks, using the fiber optic based, SNMP manageable Universal Chassis System (UCS). Within the UCS platform, the L311 addresses the Service Providers' requirements for Transparent LAN Services across a widely dispersed customer environment, and physical plant.
