LAN extension on fiber optic

Use of fiber optic LAN is increasing quickly and particularly into the new infrastructures. But the networks coppers remain the most economic solutions. In the case of significant topologies of site Ethernet using coppers, or multimode fiber, it will be simple to bind Ethernet section with singlemode fiber 100FX or 1000SX with all FOCx media converter from CXR.

CXR brings many very powerful and economic solutions.

The interconnection of 2 LAN is carried out with two media/switch converters like a simple FOC or a FOCR in a SNMP rack with administration and control of flow, the bandwidth and the backup. The range can be 500 m to 150 km.

The connection of small distant site with copper Ethernet LAN in a campus could be directly integrate in the main LAN with mini switch including simple or double converter. This example shows that of a central site, the FOC binds a distant site by simple or double fiber and of SW-7TTX-2FX.

The whole range of these products are entirely compatible with all other standard coppers and fiber Ethernet equipments 10, 100 and 1000Mbps. In these infrastructures of LAN extension over fiber optic it will be possible to setup a strategy of VLAN per port or IEEE802.1q in order to be integrated in a VLAN network. One will be able to also setup control of bandwidth and DiffServ quality of service.
