Features and Benefits
Two channels of Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel
(1GFC) – optimize the utilization of existing fiber plant
and available wavelengths
Hot-swappable SFP interfaces – enhanced deployment
flexibility and in-service maintenance
Network transparent operation – does not alter data
or packet framing
Ultra low latency – excellent for Digital Video
applications
Real-time interface monitoring through SFP Digital
Diagnostics (SFF-8472) – early detection of potential
network problems
Link redundancy capability with <100 ns switchover
–-essential service protection for mission-critical
applications
Overview
The Fiber Driver® LinkMux family from MRV is a line of time division
multiplexer (TDM) modules designed to boost fiber and wavelength
utilization and to provide redundancy. The LinkMux EM316GEMX2R
module transports two channels of Gigabit Ethernet using only a single
wavelength. The LinkMux multirate EM316MRMX2R module aggregates
two channels of either Fibre Channel (1GFC) or Gigabit Ethernet, onto a
single wavelength.
SNMP management with MegaVision Pro® support
– end-to-end network management
Cost-effective solution that reduces both capital and
operating expenses
Applications
Fiber Driver LinkMux modules use standard SFP (Small Form-factor
Pluggable) transceivers, allowing optimization of each individual
interface as needed for a given application. The modules support the
full range of MRV fiber optic and copper SFPs, making them an excellent
solution for a wide range of applications. For example, using a WDM
wavelength-specific SFP on the trunk port allows direct connection to a
WDM Mux/DeMux without the need for a transponder.
Limited fiber installations
Mission-critical services requiring maximum up time
Sub-wavelength aggregation for WDM transport
