IMC Networks Module/IMCV/S2MM/155/1300SM+ST 50-14530 Leaflet

In today’s dynamic networks,  changing requirements are a fact of life.  The multi-mode
fiber products and cabling which were the most cost-effective and sound choice for your
network yesterday may no longer give you the flexibility you require when adding remote
offices today.  Easily overcome the distance limitations inherent to multi-mode fiber  by
converting to single-mode fiber.  Fiber mode converters are the solution.

Extend the reach of your network without replacing multi-mode fiber equipment: 
As an economical alternative to using a switch with single-mode fiber ports, simply install
an  IMC Networks fiber mode converter into your multi-mode fiber network. This enables
you to easily connect to single-mode cabling and achieve distances up to 100 km. Our
fiber mode converters also give you the flexibility to add single-mode fiber links only
where needed. The iMcV series of fiber mode conversion modules includes:

iMcV-S2MM:
• Converts multi-mode to single-mode fiber
• Supports  10 Mbps Ethernet to 155 Mbps ATM (OC-3); 622 Mbps; and from 

622 Mbps, to 1.0625 Gbps FibreChannel (FC) to 1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet

• Available with fault-tolerance (see below).
iMcV-M2MM:
• Converts multi-mode to multi-mode fiber
• 10 Mbps Ethernet to 155 Mbps ATM (OC-3)
iMcV-S2SM:
• Converts single-mode to single-mode fiber
• Supports 10 Mbps Ethernet to 155 Mbps ATM (OC-3); and from 622 Mbps, 

to 1.0625 Gbps FibreChannel (FC) to 1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet

Hot-swappable fiber mode conversion modules significantly reduce operation costs
by allowing other modules within the same chassis to remain up and running during
product upgrades, maintenance and troubleshooting. 

The Fault-Tolerant iMcV-FT-S2MM provides a dual data path during operation, the pri-
mary link segment is active while the secondary link segment is non-active to prevent an
illegal Ethernet loop. If the primary link segment fails, iMcV-FT-S2MM automatically places
the secondary link segment online and makes the primary link segment non-active.  This
allows connected devices to continue to transmit and receive data. Once the primary link
segment is re-established, that link segment will become active once again. 

As an SNMP management application,
iView² gives network managers the abili-
ty to monitor and control IMC Networks'
products.  iView² runs standalone on
Windows NT/XP/2000, as a standalone
Java Application for other operating sys-
tems, as a snap-in module for HP
OpenView, as a Web Server running
under IIS or as a Java Web Servlet.
For assistance in selecting the right 
version of iView² for your operating sys-
tem, please visit our web site at:
