Application Example

The FCX10G works as a Fibre Optic 3R Signal Regenerator for up to two bidirectional fibre optic lines to achieve longer reach (see picture bottom).
Short distance to long distance power adaptation is easily realized to connect standard user’s equipment to the central side (see picture top). FCX10G converts optical signals with standard wavelength (e.g. 1310nm SM) into CWDM/DWDM colours and vice versa. Together with a simple passive splitter a WDM solution is build up.

FCX10G - 10G Multiprotocol Transponder

The modular FCX10G is a flexible fibre optic converter and repeater with integrated management for broad-band 10Gigabit- Transport. FCX10G has one or two independent channels, each supporting data rates of many 10G-applications including Ethernet, SDH/Sonet and FiberChannel. Full 3R-Regeneration (re-amplification, re-shaping, re-timing) for each chan-nel in both directions making the FCX10G to an unique member of arcutronix Transmission family.

The option to plug on any port a free and individually selectable fibre optic XFP module makes the FCX10G suitable for use in a wide range of applications.

The integrated management facilitates fine-tuning of FCX10G features, performing loops, as well as monitoring the line quality via SNMP or Telnet, based on the XFP's Digital Diagnostic functions.

Access to management functions can be realized via One-slot housing (SHX3) or via system controller (SCX2) in 19” racks (SRX).
