 Canoga Perkins L321

extends 100BASE-T UTP segments

DESCRIPTION

The Canoga Perkins L321 is a managed UTP-to-Fiber Media Converter. It extends 100BASE-T UTP segments with fiber optic cable. The L321 extends the interconnection between switches or stations up to 120km.

The Canoga Perkins L321 is especially suited for the long-distance extension of Full Duplex LAN segments. It supports 1310nm MM/SM, and 1550nm SM optics, and works with all popular sizes of single mode and multimode fiber optic cables.

The Canoga Perkins L321 features management capabilities via Side-Band Management Channel (SBMC) independent of customer data (See table below). This user-enabled channel enables the exchange of status and commands between the local and remote link partners

A Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) fiber break propagation feature allows optical signal loss at the receiver to be detected as a UTP
port management agent.

Primary application is the interconnection of 100Mbps Enterprise Switches and Service Provider Backbone Networks, using the fiber optic based, SNMP manageable Universal Chassis System (UCS). Within the UCS platform, the Canoga Perkins L321 addresses the Service Providers' requirements for Transparent LAN Services across a widely dispersed customer environment, and physical plant.
