1.1 General
Thank you for choosing FMUX80/160 / FMUX800/1600 . If you would like to skip right to the installation and
configuration of the Multiplexer, proceed to Chapters 3 and 4.
The Fiber Multiplexer is a 1U (1.75") high standalone or 19" rack mountable E1/T1/LAN multiplexer over
fiber link, built upon a cost effective fixed design. The
Fiber Multiplexer
provides an economic optical connection
solution in high ‐ density E1 and/or T1 installations such as between branch offices or for 2G/3G mobile backhaul,
where multiple high speed synchronous data communications are required with high ‐ speed Ethernet backhaul. By
utilizing a fixed design, costs are reduced and reliability improved. The standard unit is a chassis with local control and
ordered with single or dual power. One model supports RJ ‐ 45 connectors for E1/T1, wired per USOC RJ48C, while
another model boasts BNC connectors for unbalanced 75 E1 over coaxial cables. The FMUX160 utilizes fixed optical
transceivers and connector options including ST™, SC or FC. The FMUX1600 uses SFP cages that support any industry
standard 1.25Gbps SFP module. The range of transmission for optical connection is from 2Km (for multi ‐ mode) up to
120Km (single mode). Optional SNMP Card (for local and remote management purposes) may be ordered and
installed in the chassis.
1.2 Functional Description
The Fiber Multiplexer basic chassis is available in five power supply configurations. Depending on the model,
power may be derived from single AC 100~240VAC, single DC +18~60VDC, dual AC 100~240VAC, dual DC +18~60VDC,
or AC plus DC power sources. The
Fiber Multiplexer
provides all E1/T1 and LAN connections on the rear panel. The
front panel provides the LED indicators, order wire, clear channel RS ‐ 232, aggregate optical and console connectors.
Model Breakdown:
FMUX80B 8 ‐ Ch. Unbalanced E1, BNC with 4 ‐ port Ethernet Switch and 100M Ethernet wire speed trunk
FMUX80R 8 ‐ Ch. Balanced E1/T1, RJ ‐ 45 with 4 ‐ port Ethernet Switch and 100M Ethernet wire speed trunk
FMUX160B 16 ‐ Ch. Unbalanced E1, BNC with 4 ‐ port Ethernet Switch and 100M Ethernet wire speed trunk
FMUX160R 16 ‐ Ch. Balanced E1/T1, RJ ‐ 45 with 4 ‐ port Ethernet Switch and 100M Ethernet wire speed trunk
FMUX800B 8 ‐ Ch. Unbalanced E1, BNC with 4 ‐ port Gigabit Ethernet Switch and 850M Ethernet trunk
FMUX800R 8 ‐ Ch. Balanced E1/T1, RJ ‐ 45 with 4 ‐ port Gigabit Ethernet Switch and 850M Ethernet trunk
FMUX1600B 16 ‐ Ch. Unbalanced E1, BNC with 4 ‐ port Gigabit Ethernet Switch and 850M Ethernet trunk
FMUX1600R 16 ‐ Ch. Balanced E1/T1, RJ ‐ 45 with 4 ‐ port Gigabit Ethernet Switch and 850M Ethernet trunk
The 16 ‐ CHANNEL "B" Model has 16 pairs of BNC (75 Ohm unbalanced) connectors for E1 Line interface
connections supporting sixteen separate E1 channels at a transmission rate of 2.048Mb/s (transparent unframed E1)
each.
The 16 ‐ CHANNEL "R" Model provide 16 RJ ‐ 45 (120/100 Ohm balanced, software selectable) connectors for
E1/T1(DS1) Line interface connections supporting sixteen separate E1/T1(DS1) channels at a transmission rate of
2.048/1.544Mb/s (transparent unframed E1/T1) each. E1 and T1 configuration cannot be mixed; all ports must be
either E1 or T1.
The 8 ‐ CHANNEL models have the same features, but with only 8 tributary channels.
The built ‐ in Ethernet Switch provides four RJ ‐ 45 connectors for 10/100M wire speed Ethernet ( FMUX80/160 )
or 10/100/1000M Ethernet ( FMUX800/1600 up to 850M trunk speed). The switch function provides auto/forced per
port settings, Port based VLAN and Ethernet flow control enable/disable.
LEDs on the front panel will show power, alarm and channel statuses for all ports.
