ESCON Multiplexer 2 km (1.24 mi) Multimode 1310 nm
60 km (37.3 mi) Singlemode 1470 to 1610 nm ESCON Multiplexer to
ESCON Multiplexer
(LDx00 to LDx00)
80 km (49.7 mi) Singlemode 1470 to 1610 nm
Hardware
Left LDx00
Basic Contents: Up to 11 ESCON Multiplexer modules.
Option: 1 Management Module.
Right LDx00
Basic Contents: Same as for left LDx00.
Option: Same as for left LDx00.
Cabling
Inter-LDx00 Cabling
For each pair of ESCON Multiplexer modules, one in the left LDx00 and the other in the right
LDx00, occupying slots of the same number, interconnect the mux/demux ports (
TX and RX ,
unnumbered) of one module to the mux/demux ports of the other module with a fiberoptic cable.
Intra-LDx00 Cabling
None.
LDx00 to RS-232/Ethernet Cabling
LDx00-to-RS-232: As shown in
Figure 78 .
LDx00-to-Ethernet: As shown in Figure 79 .
Data Flow
Left LDx00
Data on ESCON channels to each ESCON Multiplexer module are multiplexed and sent to the
right LDx00 where they are demultiplexed to continue on their respective channels.
Right LDx00
Same as for left LDx00.
