Metrodata's products allow a variety of different leased line services to be used including Nx64kbps, E1, E2, E3, DS3, STM-1 and OC-3 offering conversion and multiplexing functions to user equipment with X.21, V.35, HSSI, E1 or Ethernet interfaces.

Conversion and multiplexing functions are performed transparently and so are independent of protocol or router configuration.

Products vary in sophistication from simple bit switch configured plug and play devices, to comprehensively configured and managed equipment which offer performance monitoring as well as local and remote management facilities.

Metrodata fibre converters offer a variety of conversions, including leased line emulation, serial fibre conversion, wavelength conversion and mode conversion, and include both fibre optic modems and fibre optic multiplexers. Products are available for use with either multimode or singlemode fibre over both short haul and long haul distances. Typical interfacing requirements include:

• E1 G703 BNC/RJ45 equipment, e.g. routers or PBXs - FC1x00
• E3/DS3 G.703 equipment, e.g. routers or broadcast video equipment - FC3x00
• STM-1/OC-3 BNC G703 equipment, e.g. core switches - FC4x00
• Multimode Fibre interfaces at 155Mbit/s, e.g. routers - FC2x00
• Multimode Fibre interfaces at 622Mbit/s, e.g. routers - FC6x00
• RS232, e.g. terminals - FIMO-232
• V.35, V.36, X.21, e.g. routers or video conferencing equipment - FIMO-2000
• EIA530, e.g. satellite modems - FIMO-2000
• Multiple Ethernet, E1 and T1 equipment - MetroLAN1000
• Multiple Ethernet, E1, T1, E3 and DS3 equipment - MetroLAN2000
• Emux offers a simple method of delivering 4, 8 or 16 E1 services over redundant fibre

All Metrodata fibre converters are supplied as standard with SC connectors operating at a nominal wavelength of 1300nm. Other wavelengths are available on request, e.g. 850nm, 1550nm, 1550/1300 CWDM. Other connectors are available on request, e.g. ST, FC.
