B+B SmartWorx 10/100/1000 Mbps Managed Optical Demarcation Module

The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III intelligent media converter connects a Host/ Remote Ethernet network over a fiber optic or CAT 5 copper connection. It combines 10/100/1000 Mbps to Gigabit fiber media conversion with an advanced feature set for network management and troubleshooting, including OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance), Extra-Tagging and EtherType control functionality. With the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III series, administrators can observe the end-points over the fiber segment between them as a single management entity. Bandwidth scalability and support for MIBs II makes this modular device a versatile Gigabit solution, now available as a single-wide module.

Free management software, iView2, allows the customer to perform remote configuration and alerts administrators to any potential problems on the longhaul fiber run, provides vital information on link condition and reports data traffic statistics. In addition to the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III's support for Host/Remote environments, the product also has built-in support for the Unified Management Agent (UMA). With UMA, the central location can manage all Host/Remote pairs installed in an iMediaChassis with the single IP address of the chassis.

The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III is available in fixed-fiber port models or an SFP port for fiber or copper for more flexibility. The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III SFP requires one or two MSA-compliant fiber optic SFP modules (sold separately) to operate; a 100Mbps or Gigabit fiber SFP can be installed. Copper SFPs are supported.
