DESCRIPTION
The Canoga Perkins L321 is a managed UTP-to-Fiber Media Converter. It
extends 100BASE-T UTP segments with fiber optic cable. The L321 extends
the interconnection between switches or stations up to 120km.
The Canoga Perkins L321 is
especially suited for the long-distance extension of Full Duplex LAN
segments. It supports 1310nm MM/SM, and 1550nm SM optics, and works with
all popular sizes of single mode and multimode fiber optic cables.
The Canoga Perkins L321 features
management capabilities via Side-Band Management Channel (SBMC)
independent of customer data (See table below). This user-enabled channel
enables the exchange of status and commands between the local and remote
link partners
A Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) fiber
break propagation feature allows optical signal loss at the receiver to be
detected as a UTP
port management agent.
Primary application is the
interconnection of 100Mbps Enterprise Switches and Service Provider
Backbone Networks, using the fiber optic based, SNMP manageable Universal
Chassis System (UCS). Within the UCS platform, the Canoga Perkins L321
addresses the Service Providers' requirements for Transparent LAN Services
across a widely dispersed customer environment, and physical plant.
