Cisco Prisma Gigabit 1310 1550 FiberLinX Modules Data Sheet
Description
Prisma
®
Gigabit FiberLinX modules are field-proven in Optical Ethernet, FTTx and
campus area network applications worldwide.
Service providers who provide customers with Transparent LAN services must be
able to remotely manage customer premise equipment while keeping management
and customer data traffic completely separated. Designed to meet the needs of
service providers and administrators of enterprise campus networks, Prisma
FiberLinX modules provision point-to-point fiber optic connections and provide a
management tool to monitor the entire link between two locations.
The Prisma FiberLinX modules connect two remote networks over fiber and allow
administrators to observe both end-points and the fiber link between them as a
single management entity and not as separate elements. Host management traffic
is not visible to the remote or customer network. Access to the customer network is
not required, allowing end-to-end data integrity. Prisma FiberLinX modules allow
for remote configuration and alert administrators to any potential problems on the
long-haul fiber run, provide vital information on link condition, and reports data
traffic statistics. In addition, the modules reduce the total cost of network equipment
by functioning as a copper-to-fiber media converter, allowing lower-cost copper
switches to be deployed at both ends of the fiber connection.
