The DS3 – T3/E3 copper to fiber network interface device (NID) provides a solution for those users that need to extend DS3 connections over fiber. The DS3 – T3/E3s supports Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers to support a variety of fiber types, distances and wavelengths to provide maximum flexibility across a variety of network topologies. The use of Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SFPs can be utilized to further increase the bandwidth capacity of the fiber infrastructure. The DS3 – T3/E3 NID must be used in pairs. A typical installation will include a chassis card installed in the ION Platform locally and a stand-alone device installed at the remote location. - AIS (Alarm Indication Signal) - Coax Line Build Out - Switch selectable for DS3/T3 or E3 - Remote firmware upgrade - Loopback – Coax and Fiber - LEDs for immediate visual status - Supports dual or single fiber - Supports multimode and single mode fiber at a variety of distances - Supports CWDM SFPs - SNMP management when used with ION chassis and management module - Remote standalone can be managed by local peer
