Omnitron iConverter 10/100M2 - fiber media converter - 10Mb LAN, 100Mb LAN

The iConverter 10/100M2 conforms to the Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) fiber standards to support Fiber-to-the-X Metropolitan and Enterprise LAN networks. The 10/100M2 provides intelligent, securely managed service demarcation at the customer premises, offering Layer 2 Control Protocol (L2CP) policy control, Quality of Service and enhanced Bandwidth Control capabilities. The 10/100M2 features built-in Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) with comprehensive performance monitoring, fault detection and provisioning. The 10/100M2 is available as a compact standalone unit or as a chassis plug-in module. The hot-swappable 10/100M2 plug-in module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module chassis with any combination of redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or DC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input. The plug-in module can manage other modules in the same chassis and operate as a managed 10/100 media converter. It features two Ethernet backplane ports for connectivity to adjacent modules in a chassis for multi-port and multi-service configurations. The standalone 10/100M2 is available as a tabletop or wall-mount unit. The tabletop model can be DIN-rail mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. Both the tabletop and the wall-mount models are DC powered and are available with an external AC/DC power adapter or a terminal connector for DC power. The 10/100M2 standalone unit combines management capability with a compact chassis for deployment at the demarcation point.

Product Features

• Fiber port options
  10/100M2 models with fixed-fiber connectors are available with multimode (MM) dual fiber, single-mode (SM) dual fiber and single-mode single-fiber (SF) options. They support ST, SC, LC and MT-RJ connectors with distances up to 5km over MM fiber, 120km over SM fiber and 40km over SF. The 10/100M2 Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model supports a wide variety of SFP transceivers available in 20nm increments from 1270nm to 1610nm to support FTTX and CWDM applications.
• Link modes
  The 10/100M2 features multiple, user-selectable link fault detection modes, including Link Propagation, Remote Fault Detection and Asymmetrical Fault Detection. These Link Modes provide rapid fault detection and isolation by monitoring the state of the cabling hardware, and operate independently of the network management.
• Tag VLAN, Port VLAN and QoS
  The iConverter 10/100M2 supports the IEEE 802.1Q tag Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) packet tagging and untagging and the 802.1p Quality of Service priority standards. 10/100M2 VLAN 802.1ad tunneling technology enables service providers to offer their customers E-Line and E-LAN services via Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC), which connect multiple business LANs at different locations and make their networks appear to be on the same local network. Q-in-Q Service tags transparently transport customer network traffic across the service provider network, isolating it from other customer and service provider management traffic. 10/100M2 Port VLAN enables the ability to specify and restrict traffic flow between the fiber, UTP, backplane and management ports. The 802.1p prioritization standard enables delivery of Quality of Service (QoS) to high-priority, real-time applications such as voice and video over Ethernet.
• Port bandwidth control and port access control
  The enhanced Bandwidth Control feature supports levels of bandwidth between the fiber and UTP ports in 64Kbps increments from 64K to Full Line Speed. The 10/100M2 features Port Access Control which blocks user service while maintaining the network link. Port Access Control enables the service provider to control user access while maintaining port configuration for easy disabling or enabling of customer service. Port Access Control provides enterprise administrators the capability to improve network security by controlling port access when the port is not in use.
• Port statistics and optical performance statistics
  The 10/100M2 supports reporting of utilization, port and optical performance statistics. Port statistics are available for 38 different variables for the UTP and fiber ports. Additionally, full optical performance statistics are available on SFP fiber transceivers with a digital diagnostic bus. Port and optical performance statistics reporting provides the ability to monitor customer bandwidth utilization, network performance and the link signal quality for each individual port.
• IEEE 802.3ah operations, administration and maintenance
  The 10/100M2 supports the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard, including Fault Detection, Performance Monitoring and Remote Loopback.
