FRM220-16G-3R - SFP+ to SFP+ dual channel 10G converter (transponder), 4 SFP+ slots, up to 16G rate and optical protection option

Product description
The FRM220-16G-3R transponder card is an new and very powerful addition to the FRM220 series of media converters. Card has 4 x 10G rate SFP+ slots, and speed can actually be running up to 16G rate for Fibre Channel applications. Any 10GBase transceiver (multi-mode or single-mode) or DWDM/CWDM SFP+ module can be installed in each of the SFP+ slots of FRM220-16G-3R transponder card. Copper direct attach cables (DAC's) are also supported. Each card can be configured as two independent transponders, allowing a density of 38 channels
10G transponders in only 2RU of 19" rack space.

The FRM220-16G-3R has 4 SFP+ slots that can be configured as a dual channel 16G 3R multi-rate transponder or in a 1-to-2 port protection mode. The device provides a flexible transmission of various protocols, like 1G/10G Ethernet, SDH STM16/STM64, OTU1/OTU1e/OTU2/OTU2e, FC 1/2/4/8/10/16G, ODU, OBSAI, CPRI, etc. Using SFP+ ports with dedicated CWDM or DWDM wavelengths, the 16G transponder supports a multi-rate functionality with data rates from 1Gbps up to 14Gbps. With its functionality the FRM220-16G-3R transponder is suitable as repeater for transmission over extended distances. In addition, the use of state of the art components greatly reduces the power requirements and heat dissipation factors of our previous transponders.

Unit supports web-based, in-band management telnet, SNMP or console management when installed in the FRM220-CH20 chassis or in the small standalone casing of FRM220-CH02M that provides a separate console port.
