Application Example
Lantronix ION x3100 is a SFP-to-SFP fiber repeater with two SFP ports for direct physical connection.
The x3100 performs signal reamplify (1R) signal regeneration.The x3100 can be used in telecom and
enterprise applications where 100Mb - 2.5 GB links require fiber extension or where 100Mb - 2.5Gb links
require an interface between two fiber networks.The x3100 performs a variety of protocol transparent
services; it supports virtually any protocol from 100Mbps to 2.5Gbps.
This fiber to fiber converter is a protocol independent device that supports data rates from 100Mbps up to
2.5 Gbps. It provides reliable and cost-effective conversion between single mode and multimode fiber,
while also providing wavelength conversion in CWDM applications. As an SFP based device, this any-
rate to similar-rate converter offers great application flexibility. Supported protocols, fiber connectors, and
transmission distances are determined by the SFP module used on the converter.
