This application shows a pair of PBX systems connected over a singlemode fiber using a pair of FC1100 units. This singlemode fiber could be between buildings (e.g. across a business park), or across a city (e.g. over a rented fiber).

This application shows a PBX being remotely connected to an NTE over a singlemode fiber using a pair of FC1100 units. This singlemode fiber could be between buildings (e.g. across a business park), or across a city (e.g. over a rented fiber).

This application shows a pair of routers connected over a singlemode fiber using a pair of FC1100 units. This singlemode fiber could be between buildings (e.g. across a business park), or across a city (e.g. over a rented fiber).

This application shows an E1 router being remotely connected to an NTE over a singlemode fiber using a pair of FC1100 units. This singlemode fiber could be between buildings (e.g. across a business park), or across a city (e.g. over a rented fiber).

This application shows an E1 router being remotely connected to an E1 G.703 satellite modem over a singlemode fiber using a pair of FC1100 units. This singlemode fiber could be between buildings (e.g. across a business park), or across a city (e.g. over a rented fiber).
With the need to extend, or interconnect, communication infrastructures over greater distances, and the cost of fiber falling dramatically, the Metrodata FC1X00 Fiber Converter product range provides a cost effective solution for the extension of E1 (2.048Mbps) services.
There are three models in the range:
Using fiber optics the FC1100 extends the operating distance of an E1 G.703 interface whether on a router, PBX or similar equipment over singlemode fiber. The FC1100 is totally transparent to both payload and protocol and as such will support unframed or framed data such as G.704, ISDN PRI.
The maximum operating distance of the FC1100 is 30km, although specific installations may only operate over lower distances due to the variations in losses of different types of fiber cable, the use of connecting fiber cables, or patch panels. When operating over 50% of the maximum distances it is advisable to calculate all fiber optic connector and cable losses and compare these with the fiber optic loss budget specified for this product.
The standard FC1100 is supplied with SC fiber connectors and operates at a nominal wavelength of 1300nm. Other wavelengths are available on request, e.g. 850nm, 1550nm, 1550/1300 WDM. Other connector options are also available on request, e.g. ST, FC.
The FC1100 E1 G.703 connection is configurable between twin BNC coaxial connectors or a single RJ45. The G.703 interface supports direct connection to equipment such as Routers or PBXs, however a cross-over cable must be used to connect to an NTU.
The FC1100 has an integral mains or 48 volt power supply, and can be desktop or rack-mounted. The FC1100 can easily be rackmounted in either a 1U two unit rackmount kit, a 6U eighteen unit rackmount kit or is available as a 1U quad box (which contains 4 x FC1100).
The FC1100 is also available in a card based format for use with the 4U 12-slot MetroRack managed chassis.
The FC1100 is part of a range of fiber conversion products from Metrodata. The wider product range offers fiber conversion solutions ranging from 300 baud RS-232, via Nx64kbps rates, through 2Mbps and up to 155Mbps for electrical to fiber conversion; or 155Mbps, 622Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet for fiber mode or wavelength conversion.
