 Combining data rate independent connectivity with 
support for GBIC transceivers, the Fiber DriverT GBIC-to-GBIC Media Module 
(EM316-2GBIC) from MRV Communications defines a new level of deployment 
flexibility and inventory management, enabling the implementation of an 
extremely wide range of optical infrastructure solutions from media conversion 
and signal boosting to lambda conversion, Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) and 
Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing (OADM).
 
 The GBIC-to-GBIC Media Module 
offers plug-n-play ease of installation. Simply place the module into the Fiber 
Driver chassis, insert the GBIC transceivers required for the protocol and 
distance of the application, and connect to the network.
 
 Because GBIC 
transceivers are portable they can be easily used again at a different location 
for a different application, maximizing the investment in equipment and reducing 
the need for on-hand inventory. MRV Communications provides a complete range of 
optical and copper plug-in interfaces for the EM316-2GBIC.
 
 The 
GBIC-to-GBIC Media Module is data rate independent and performs 2R - reshape and 
retransmit - conditioning of the data signal. Any protocol is supported, 
including Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, ESCON, SONET (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and 
above), Fibre Channel (1 Gbps & 2 Gbps), Serial Digital Video Interface 
(SDI) SMPTPE-269 and SMTPE-292, DVB, HDTV (1.5 Gbps), and many 
others.
 
 With an externally connected Mux/Demux unit such as the 4- or 
8-channel Fiber Driver CWDM Passive Mux/Demux (EM316PA4N / EM316PA8N), the 
GBIC-to-GBIC Media Module can be used as a WDM solution building block 
configured to the desired protocol/data rate and provided with GBICs of the 
required wavelengths. Deployed along a WDM trunk at customer service points 
using MRV Communications' passive OADM technology, the GBIC-to-GBIC Media Module 
can be used to create a sophisticated Add/Drop topology.
 
 The GBIC-to-GBIC 
Media Module is a hot swappable, two-slot module that can be placed in any 
powered Fiber Driver chassis. It fully supports the GBIC standard. Through the 
Fiber Driver Network Management Module, the EM316-2GBIC is SNMP manageable and 
fully supported through the GUI of MegaVision WebT, MRV Communications' 
comprehensive Network Management System (NMS).
