iConverter® Multi-Service Platform

The modular iConverter Multi-Service Platform of media converter, transponder and multiplexer modules can be combined in a variety of chassis configurations to provide a managed, flexible and scalable architecture for today’s evolving fiber networks. Network managers can leverage investments in existing infrastructure and deliver new services, protocols and data rates over fiber, and multiplex different services over a CWDM common fiber link

• Deployed worldwide in service provider, enterprise, government and utility networks
• Modular architecture of high-density chassis, plug-in modules and standalone modules
• Manageable via SNMPv1/v2c/v3, Telnet and secure IP-less management
• Commercial (0 to 50ºC), Wide (-40 to 60ºC) and Extended (-40 to 75ºC) temperature ranges
• Select modules support SFP, SFP+ and XFP pluggable transceivers

 Network Interface Devices (NIDs)

iConverter carrier-class Ethernet Network Interface Devices (NIDs) are Carrier Ethernet 2.0 certified compliant to provide intelligent demarcation for Carrier Ethernet services. iConverter NIDs provide demarcation for Ethernet services delivered across one or more operator networks, with state-of-the-art provisioning, performance monitoring, protection and fault detection capabilities.

CWDM Multiplexers

iConverter CWDM Multiplexers/Demultiplexers and Add/Drop Multiplexers increase the bandwidth capacity of existing single-fiber or dual fiber infrastructure by multiplexing up to sixteen independent wavelengths over a fiber optic connection. The modular iConverter CWDM MUX products utilize a small and scalable plug-in form factor and can be installed in any iConverter chassis, achieving some of the highest port densities in the industry.
