Single Port Gigabit Ethernet Board, P/N: 201350-xxx
The Prizm Single Port Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter board provides a fiber optic link to
remote a Gigabit Ethernet. An industry standard pluggable small-form-factor (SFP) Gigabit
Ethernet (GBE) fiber optic module is employed to allow easy customization of the fiber
optic link characteristics. Single mode fiber is typically used with this board and optical
links can easily exceed 10 kilometers. Multimode fiber can also be supported but with
drastically reduced optical link distance – typically less than 1 kilometer depending on the
fiber specifics.
This board has to be linked with another Gigabit Ethernet board to complete the Ethernet
connection.
NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet board will only work with Gigabit Ethernet devices.
This board will not support 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet.
The Gigabit Ethernet board will operate as either a subsea or surface interface board, so can
be used as spare for either location. The optical modules used on the board are inherently
bi-directional and care must be taken to ensure the correct optical port (either TX or RX) is
connected, depending on the board configuration and system location. While the optical
module‟s receiver will operate on all of the 16 CWDM (coarse wave division multiplexing)
wavelengths (1270 to 1610nm), the module‟s transmitter only emits at a single wavelength
so care must be taken to ensure the correct wavelength is used.
For non-CWDM applications, Moog Components Group can supply the board with SFP‟s
that contain an internal bi-direction WDM (wave division multiplexers) for single-fiber
operation.
