Installed in a high density Perle Media Converter Chassis, Perle's feature rich SFP to SFP protocol and rate-transparent media converters enable network administrators to incorporate multiple fiber types and wavelengths in, or between, networks through fiber to fiber mode conversion.
Using this technology will result in significant cost savings when
compared to replacing an optical blade on network equipment. Easily
extend a network to remote locations by converting:
- Multimode to Multimode
- Multimode to Single Mode
- Single Mode to Single Mode
- Dual to single fiber ( Duplex to Simplex BiDi )
SFP to SFP Conversion
The C-4GPT-DSFP Fiber Mode Converter Module comes with two empty SFP slots. This allows for flexible network configurations using SFP fiber transceivers supplied by Perle, Cisco or other manufacturers of MSA compliant SFPs. Adapting to different fiber types, distances and wavelengths is made simple by mixing and matching SFP’s as needed
for maximum flexibility across a variety of topologies and network
architectures. The hot-swappable nature of SFPs allow for easy
configuration and future upgrades as network demands evolve by simply
upgrading a single SFP instead of replacing the entire fiber mode
converter.
Convert different wavelengths ( WDM Transponders )
SFP transceivers also enable the C-4GPT-DSFP Fiber Mode Converter Module to operate as a Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) transponder.
Also referred to as Bi-Directional ( BiDi ) or Simplex, WDM
Transponders help network administrators take advantage of the cost
savings in both material and labour associated with Single Strand Fiber.
WDM uses separate transmit and receive frequencies to communicate on a single fiber strand.
WDM technology relies on the fact that optical fibers can carry many
wavelengths of light simultaneously without interaction between each
wavelength. Thus, a single fiber can carry many separate wavelength
signals or channels simultaneously. WDM systems are divided into
different wavelength patterns, conventional/coarse (CWDM) and dense (DWDM).
C-4GPT-DSFP Fiber Mode Converter Module Features
Network Administrators can
“see-everything” with Perle’s advanced features such as Smart Link
Pass-Through and Fiber Fault Alert. This allows for more efficient
troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving
features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make the C-4GPT-DSFP Fiber Mode Converter Module the smart choice for IT professionals.
