Product Description 
Prisma DS3/E3/STS-1 Module 
Each Prisma DS3/E3/STS-1, BNC/FX includes one pair of BNC connectors and one 
pair of ST or SC fiber optic connectors and requires one slot in an SNMP-manageable 
MediaCenter™ chassis or an unmanaged MediaCPE™ chassis. 
Also available for single-strand fiber, the Prisma DS3/E3/STS-1, TP/SSFX module 
includes pair of BNC connectors and one SC fiber optic connector.  Prisma 
DS3/E3/STS-1, TP/SSFX modules allow two wavelengths to share one fiber strand 
— Full-Duplex data travels on different wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) — 
doubling the capacity of installed fiber. 
Note:  In order to function correctly, you must have a Prisma DS3/E3/STS-1 module 
at BOTH ends of the conversion.  The data transmitted on the fiber ports can only be 
received and interpreted by the receive fiber of another Prisma DS3/E3/STS-1 
module.
