As the need for distance extension, PLANET provide the WDM Bi-directional Fast Ethernet Converters, FT- 706A15/706B15 -the 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX converter. FT-706A15/706B15 is used to convert optical Ethernet signal to electrical Ethernet signal that allows two type, segments connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. By deploying WDM technology (Wavelength Division Multiplexer) , only single-mode fiber is needed to transmit and receive optical Ethernet packets.
The WDM technology employs passive optic multiplexing, thus multiplex the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) lines onto a single fiber. It will save a half cabling cost by replacing regular dual fiber converter with FT-706A15/706B15. A pair of FT-06A15/706B15 of distinct wavelength, 1310nm and 1550nm, should be installed at both ends of the single fiber cable. It transmits up to 15 kilometers point to point over single mode fiber. This converter can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-in module to the 10"/ 19"media chassis (up to 15 units) for a TP and Fiber combined networks at a central wiring closet.
