Gigabit link extender
Gigabit link extender
The FLX-2000 can extend Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, or ATM links, typically 50 m in length, up to 120 km. The internal digital signal conditioner re-times the signal over the long-haul connection to reduce jitter. Data integrity is preserved over long distances with a bit-error rate less than 10-12. The link extender includes LEDs to indicate status of the system, short-haul link, and long-haul link. Also included are system status monitoring and link diagnostics to provide fault detection and isolation. Integration with network management is provided via an RS-232 serial port attached to a local terminal or modem to allow remote access. Pricing starts at $7600.
