Introduction
Transition Networks’ two-port C4110 series 10 Gbps Fiber-to-Fiber Converter is designed to install in an
ION chassis. The ION x4110 is a 10 Gbps fiber-to-fiber port converter with two SFP+ slots that performs
full 3R (re-amplify, re-shape, and re-timing) signal regeneration. It can be used all alone or it can be
connected to another x4110, providing fiber-to-fiber conversion in the following user networks:
•
10G LAN, 10G WAN
•
10G Fiber Channel
•
SONET OC192
•
10G OTN (G.709)
The C4110 can be used in telecom and enterprise applications where 10 Gbps links require fiber
extension or where 10 Gbps links require an interface between two different types of fiber. The C4110
performs a wide variety of protocol transparent service; it supports virtually any protocol from 1 Gbps to
11.5 Gbps:
•
10G LAN (10.3125 Gbps) / WAN (9.95 Gbps)
•
SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64 at 9.95 Gbps
•
10G Fiber Channel at 10.52 Gbps
•
1/2/4/8 Gbps Fiber channel
•
OTU2 at 10.709 Gbps
•
OTU1e at 11.05 Gbps
•
OTU1f at 11.27 Gbps
•
OTU2e at 11.09 Gbps
•
OTU2f at 11.32 Gbps
•
SONET OC-48/SDH STM-16 at 2.40 Gbps
•
Legacy 1G Ethernet at 1.25 Gbps
•
Any other rate in the range of 1 - 11.5 Gbps
Models
The C4110 is an ION chassis slide-in-card (SIC). The S4110 is an ION Stand-alone device.
The S4110 is used as a stand-alone device or as a remote device when linked back to a managed
chassis card.
The C4110 SIC card can be managed by ION Web, ION CLI, or Focal Point 3.0. The S4110 can not be
remotely managed.
Manageable C4110 features are available when used in an ION Platform chassis along with an ION
Management Module (IONMM). The x4110 is delivered with a default configuration. You can change the
configuration via the ION Web interface, Focal Point 3.0, and the ION CLI.
