 Combining software selectable data rates and Small 
Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers, the Fiber DriverT SFP 
Multi-Rate Dual Transponder (EM316DMR48) 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 distance extension to lambda conversion, Wave Division 
Multiplexing (WDM) and Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing (OADM).
 
 Installation of the SFP Multi-Rate Dual Transponder is quick and easy. 
Simply place the module into the Fiber Driver chassis, insert the SFP 
transceivers and set the module to the corresponding data rate. Changing the 
connection type at a later point requires only changing the SFP transceivers and 
setting the module to the new data rate. With the hot swappable functionality of 
the SFP transceivers there is virtually no down time involved.
 
 The Fiber 
Driver SFP Multi-Rate Dual Transponder performs full 3R signal regeneration - 
retransmission, reshaping, and retiming - per channel at any selected data rate 
from 100 Mbps to 2.7 Gbps (100 MHz to 2.7 GHz). This range covers Fast and 
Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, ESCON, SONET (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and OC-48 with FEC), 
Fibre Channel (1 Gbps & 2 Gbps), Serial Digital Video Interface (SDI) 
SMPTPE-269 and SMTPE-292, DVB, HDTV (1.5 Gbps), and many other protocols. Even 
customer proprietary optical protocols can be supported for the ultimate in 
value added services. If desired, the clock and data recovery functions can be 
bypassed to create a 2R protocol transparent connection.
 
 The SFP 
Multi-Rate Dual Transponder fully supports the SFP standard including digital 
diagnostics as per SFF-8472. Together with the Network Management Module it 
provides real-time access to information such as transceiver type (protocol, 
range, vendor, etc.), transceiver temperature, TX/RX optical power, and 
transceiver supply voltage. It also provides a means for generating management 
alerts and warnings, when system parameters fall outside of the normal operating 
range.
