Ethernet Demarcation Unit for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
Transparent LAN service providers require remote management capabilities, and must
be able to isolate management traffic from customer data. Typical Customer Premises
Equipment (CPE) does not allow for this because the CPE devices are usually owned by
the customer and inaccessible to the network operator. The compact Prisma
®
Mini
FiberLinX-II functions as an Optical Ethernet Demarcation Unit designed for operation by
service providers and campus network administrators. It provisions point-to-point fiber
optic connections, and provides a remote network interface at the customer location that
monitors the entire link between two locations.
The Prisma Mini FiberLinX-II for fiber optic networks allows service providers to deliver managed,
high-bandwidth “triple play” voice, video and data services to customer premises. The Prisma Mini
FiberLinX-II and the fiber link can be managed as a single entity, allowing for remote configuration
and autonomous alerting of network administrators to fault conditions. As a copper-to-fiber media
converter, it allows low-cost copper switches to connect to the fiber line. Offering unparalleled
flexibility, the Prisma Mini FiberLinX-II supports multiple fiber, types including multi-mode and
single-mode as well as singlestrand fiber, doubling the capacity of installed fiber. Coarse
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) functionality is also an option.
The Prisma Mini FiberLinX-II comes equipped with one 100 Mbps fiber port for data and
management, one 10/100 twisted pair port for customer data, and an RS-232 port for local
configuration of the unit during installation.
The Prisma Mini FiberLinX-II supports multiple powering options. Use the included AC power
adapter, or use a 4-terminal DC power block with an extended voltage range of 5 to 50 VDC. The
Prisma Mini FiberLinX-II also complies with the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard, acting
as a Powered Device (PD) to draw power when connected to 802.3af compliant Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE). Combining copper-to-fiber conversion, extended temperature performance, plug-
and-play operation, miniature size and multiple power options, the Prisma Mini FiberLinX-II is one
of the most versatile fiber optic Optical Ethernet Demarcation Unit devices available on the market
today.
