AT-EX1002
Gigabit Ethernet Multi-Mode Media Extender
AT-EX1002
Gigabit Ethernet multi-mode media extender,
with distance up to 2km
with distance up to 2km
Overview
The AT-EX1002 extends Gigabit Ethernet
distances up to 2km (1.25 miles) using multi-
mode fiber and features one 1000SX fiber port
and one 1000X fiber port.The 1000SX port
extends distances up to 500m (1,666ft) while
the 1000X port can extend distances up to
2km (1.25 miles), both in full-duplex operation.
Additionally, the AT-EX1002 can be used as a
standalone tabletop unit or in an optional
rackmount such as the AT-MCR12,TRAY4 or
TRAY1 chassis.

Upgrading FDDI Networks Using
Gigabit Ethernet and FDDI
Technology
Gigabit Ethernet and FDDI
Technology
Frequently, the high-speed fault-tolerant features
of Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) has
been used to build backbone networks.
However, the growth of new applications that
require extremely high rates of throughput,
greater than that allowed by FDDI, have
emerged and in many cases exceeded the
capabilities of FDDI. Examples of high demand
network applications include streaming audio
and video content.

network applications include streaming audio
and video content.
The solution for many FDDI networks is to
migrate FDDI to Gigabit Ethernet, which offers
the same resiliency as FDDI with greater
bandwidth capability. However, one of the
principal disadvantages to migrating from FDDI
to Gigabit Ethernet has been the cost of
replacing the legacy multi-mode fiber optic
cabling of the FDDI topology to one designed

bandwidth capability. However, one of the
principal disadvantages to migrating from FDDI
to Gigabit Ethernet has been the cost of
replacing the legacy multi-mode fiber optic
cabling of the FDDI topology to one designed
for Gigabit Ethernet. Currently, Gigabit Ethernet
transmission on multi-mode fiber is limited to a
maximum of 550m (1830ft) on 50/125 micron
fiber and 275m (916ft) on 62.5/125 micron
fiber. In network configurations requiring greater
distances, network administrators have been
confronted with the choice of either retaining
FDDI and its lower bandwidth or replacing the
existing multi-mode fiber cable with single-
mode cable, usually at great cost.

The AT-EX1002 Gigabit Ethernet multi-mode
media extender greatly simplifies this migration
by allowing you to install Gigabit Ethernet while
maintaining the existing multi-mode fiber cable.
With this unit, you can extend the distance of
Gigabit Ethernet transmission over multi-mode
fiber cable from the current limitation of 550m
(1830ft) to 2km (1.24 miles). In many situations,
this eliminates the need of replacing the existing
multi-mode fiber cable by allowing you to use
the legacy cable system.

Simple To Install
The AT-EX1002 Gigabit multi-mode extenders
are simple to install requiring no configuration.
Simply connect the local multi-mode cable to
the 1000SX port and the extended 2000m
multi-mode cable to the multi-mode extender
port. Repeat at the other end of the fiber cable,
and the installation is complete.
