Cisco Prisma FiberLinX Modules (CWDM) Installation Guide

These installation instructions provide product information and instructions for 
installing the Prisma

®

 Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter module. 

The SNMP-manageable Prisma Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter module (for 
simplicity in this document called “module”) provides a single conversion between 
1000Base-T twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX fiber cabling. Each module includes 
one RJ-45 connector and one pair of SC fiber optic connectors.  The module installs in 
modular, SNMP-manageable Prisma MediaCenter

™

 series of chassis as well as the 

unmanaged Prisma MediaCPE

™

 chassis series. 

The module is also available in a single-strand fiber version that allows two 
wavelengths to share one fiber strand.  Full-Duplex data travels on different 
wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm), doubling the capacity of fiber.  It includes one 
RJ-45 connector and one SC fiber connector. 

Note:  All modules, including 1300 multi-mode and 1310 single-mode (TX/LX), 850 
nm multi-mode fiber (TX/SX), single-strand versions (TX/SSLX) and those with 
CDWM, will be referred to as such throughout this installation guide except where 
differences need to be indicated.
