RAD Unveils Energy Saving TDM/Ethernet Fiber Optic Mux Targeting Price-Sensitive Applications
RAD Data Communications has unveiled the Optimux-108L, the new entry-level product in its Optimux family of fiber optic multiplexers. The Optimux-108L is the first of RAD’s new generation of “green” energy saving devices, whose low power consumption reduces operating expenses (OpEx).
The compact Optimux-108L features four E1 ports, a 10/100 Mbps data service port, a Fast Ethernet management port, and simple “plug and play” installation. “This new addition to our Optimux product line will better position our fiber optic multiplexers for applications where no redundancy required and in price sensitive markets” notes Elad Harf, Product Line Manager at RAD Data Communications.
The Optimux-108L consumes only 5W with the DC power supply option and 18VA with the AC option, far less than other solutions in the market. It reduces the cost per link over fiber when working opposite Optimux-108/108L standalone units or RAD’s LRS-102/MP-4100 central site solution. Typical applications include point-to-point and star topologies that transparently carry TDM and data over fiber.
The Optimux-108L is especially designed for three related market segments. It is ideal for connecting a mobile operator’s remote BTS to a central site in order to backhaul E1s and Ethernet over fiber. It also can be deployed by carriers and service providers to extend their TDM and Ethernet flows from PDH/SDH and IP networks over fiber to rural areas. Finally, it can be used by enterprise, utility and transportation networks to carry TDM and Ethernet traffic in a point-to-point star topology over dark fiber.
