Omnitron iConverter 10/100M2 – Fiber media converter – 100Mb LAN – 10Base-T, 100Base-FX, 100Base-TX – RJ-45 / SC single-mode – up to 12.4 miles – 1310 (TX) / 1550 (RX) nm

Port statistics and optical performance statistics. The 10/100M2 supports reporting of utilization, port and optical performance statistics. Port statistics are available for 38 different variables for the UTP and fiber ports. Additionally, full optical performance statistics are available on SFP fiber transceivers with a digital diagnostic bus. Port and optical performance statistics reporting provides the ability to monitor customer bandwidth utilization, network performance and the link signal quality for each individual port.

• Port bandwidth control and port access control. The enhanced Bandwidth Control feature supports levels of bandwidth between the fiber and UTP ports in 64Kbps increments from 64K to Full Line Speed. The 10/100M2 features Port Access Control which blocks user service while maintaining the network link. Port Access Control enables the service provider to control user access while maintaining port configuration for easy disabling or enabling of customer service. Port Access Control provides enterprise administrators the capability to improve network security by controlling port access when the port is not in use.
• Performance monitoring. 802.3ah Performance Monitoring tools are used for the detection and notification of link performance (quality) faults. Ethernet data performance can deteriorate slowly before disrupting service, and the 10/100M2 allows the setting of error-per-second thresholds. Once the pre-set error threshold is exceeded, an event notification is generated that provides early indication of a problem that may be resolved prior to loss of service.
• Metro Ethernet access. At the Central Office, the 10/100M2 plug-in module is installed in a managed iConverter 19-Module chassis for high-density fiber distribution from UTP switch equipment. At Customer Premises 1, the 10/100M2 plug-in module is installed in a 2-Module chassis with an iConverter 4TxVT four-port switch module. The two modules share data via the Ethernet Backplane. This configuration functions as a remotely managed demarcation switch with a fiber uplink port to the Central Office and five copper ports that drop off Ethernet service. At Customer Premises 2, the 10/100M2 standalone NID provides a fiber uplink to a single copper port for intelligent demarcation of Ethernet services.
• Fault detection. The 10/100M2 detects and indicates link faults, dying gasp and other critical events. The 10/100M2 also supports Unidirectional Link Fault Detection that indicates faults in either direction of the fiber link.
• Link modes. The 10/100M2 features multiple, user-selectable link fault detection modes, including Link Propagation, Remote Fault Detection and Asymmetrical Fault Detection. These Link Modes provide rapid fault detection and isolation by monitoring the state of the cabling hardware, and operate independently of the network management.
• Carrier-grade optical Ethernet. iConverter fiber access Network Interface Devices and media converters are MEF 9 and 14 certified compliant and NEBS Level 3 compliant. iConverter NIDs enable Carrier-Grade Optical Ethernet with reliability and performance monitoring to support Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The modular design of iConverter fiber access equipment future-proofs Metro Ethernet services with scalability of network services and lowers operating costs with comprehensive OAM management and provisioning.
• Tag VLAN, Port VLAN and QoS. The iConverter 10/100M2 supports the IEEE 802.1Q tag Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) packet tagging and untagging (including Q-in-Q tunneling and 802.1ad service provider tag) and the 802.1p Quality of Service priority standards. 10/100M2 VLAN 802.1ad tunneling technology enables service providers to offer their customers E-Line and E-LAN services via Ethernet Virtual Circuit (EVC), which connect multiple business LANs at different locations and make their networks appear to be on the same local network. Q-in-Q Service tags transparently transport customer network traffic across the service provider network, isolating it from other customer and service provider management traffic.
• IEEE 802.3ah operations, administration and maintenance. The 10/100M2 supports the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard, including Fault Detection, Performance Monitoring and Remote Loopback.
• Fiber port options. 10/100M2 models with fixed-fiber connectors are available with multimode (MM) dual fiber, single-mode (SM) dual fiber and single-mode single-fiber (SF) options. They support ST, SC, LC and MT-RJ connectors with distances up to 5km over MM fiber, 120km over SM fiber and 40km over SF. The 10/100M2 Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model supports a wide variety of SFP transceivers available in 20nm increments from 1270nm to 1610nm to support FTTX and CWDM applications.
