OVERVIEW
Signamax's model 065-1096RED Redundant Link Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter is a 10/100/1000BaseT/TX to 1000Base SFP converter that provides automatic failover protection of a Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic connection without relying on a managed switch. It is designed to provide high-speed recovery (less than 10 ms) of mission-critical segments within networks serving Telco/ISP backbones, cable operators, military, banking and enterprise networks. It is configured by using two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic modules to provide a primary and secondary fiber optic pathway to another 065-1096RED converter at a distant location. The 1000Base fiber connections are provided by slide-in Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules; a number of different SFP modules are available for multimode or singlemode fiber applications. The 065-1096RED is a switching media converter, that auto-negotiates speed and duplex mode on its twisted-pair connection. 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000BaseT connections are automatically speed and duplex mode matched to the Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic connections. For full auto-switch protection capability, these converters are required to be used in pairs. The redundant fiber optic pathways can be routed either via strand diversity, where the secondary protection fiber circuit resides in the same fiber optic cable jacket as the primary connection, or in route diversity protection architectures where the secondary protection fiber circuit is routed through a completely different physical pathway. Route diversity ensures that physical damage to a single fiber optic cable would not shut down the secondary path as well.
