network problems
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.
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.
