Baseband Converter LVDS HSSI

Baseband Converter - LVDS Encryptor Interfacing

  • HSSI or LVDS (EIA-644-A) interface
  • Transparent operation at up to 52 Mbps
  • DCE or DTE options
  • Configurable control signal mapping
  • Integral auto-sensing PSU
  • Quad option available - 4 BC's in 1U box

By utilizing Metrodata's Baseband Converters, it is possible to utilize new and existing/legacy equipment with these new fast LVDS Cryptos. Typically used to interface Cisco HSSI Routers to LVDS Cryptos, or LVDS Cryptos to HSSI Satcom Modems or HSSI Radio Relay Systems, the baseband converter presents a major step in solving interoperability and interfacing issues within Defense networking.

The product range consists of devices which offer an LVDS/EIA-644 connection to a HSSI DTE (Router) or a HSSI DCE (Satellite modem). With a maximum speed of 51.84Mb/s the Baseband Converter supports the same maximum rate of most LVDS Cryptos.
