Mixed-media Ethernet switch – two copper (10/100Base-TX) and two fiber (100Base-FX) interfaces Copper 10/100Base-TX ports with auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDIX sensing Overview Manual configuration for speed, duplex, autonegotiation, MDI/MDIX, and loopback Fiber grooming (media conversion and optimization) incorporates a wide variety of data transmission functions traditionally implemented through multiple independent solutions. The MRV XY multi-function media converters combine media conversion, distance extension, and fiber optimization into versatile multi-function modules. The EM316SWXY, the flagship member of the XY family, is the Fast Ethernet chameleon of the Fiber Driver Optical Multi-Service Platform. Link fault pass-through (most modes) - Link Integrity Notification (LIN) – MRV protocol - Far-end fault indication (FEFI) (802.3u standard) IEEE 802.3u compliance Loopback testing Hot-swap support - modules can be removed and replaced without impacting other network devices The Fiber Driver EM316SW-XY converter family combines two Fast Ethernet copper ports and two modular SFP ports to serve several traditional roles with virtually any network media. 1 2 3 4 Optical performance monitoring through SFP Digital Diagnostics (SFF-8472) Copper-to-fiber converter - Fast Ethernet to fiber optic conversion Self-healing converter - redundant trunk links Fiber-to-fiber repeater - multi-mode or single-mode fiber Mixed-media switch - media conversion with collision isolation Advanced SNMP management Compatibility with all Fiber Driver powered chassis Figure 1: Modes of operation Redundant Fiber Optic Converter 1 Repeater Copper Fiber Optic 1 Converter 2 Repeater Fiber Optic Access RJ-45 1 DUAL COPPER-TO-FIBER CONVERTER Copper 1 2 SELF-HEALING CONVERTER 3 COPPER AND FIBER REPEATER [email protected] Fiber Optic 2 Copper 2 4 MIXED-MEDIA SWITCH Media Converters Repeaters and Optimizers The EM316SW-XY module supports large packets up to 1916 bytes in compliance with modern internetworking protocols including MPLS over Ethernet, Q-in-Q (VLAN stacking), MAC-in-MAC, and others. The revolutionary paradigm of the versatile XY (multidimensional) converter family simplifies network planning and installations while reducing replacement inventory requirements. The two Fast Ethernet copper and two modular SFP ports may be configured and combined in literally hundreds of ways to serve the traditional converter, repeater, and switch roles with the flexibility for modern media and protocols. A single Fiber Driver module now fills the roles of several legacy network components, with SFP options multiplying the possible applications still further. For flexible link management, the EM316SW-XY supports link fault pass-through with MRV’s Link Integrity Notification (LIN). The standard Far End Fault Indication (FEFI) is available as an option combination with LIN. These tools ensure correct propagation of link faults by disabling both ends of a failed link, which allows devices dependent upon link state such as switches and routers to accurately respond to network conditions. LIN and FEFI are not applicable when the XY module is acting as a mixedmedia switch. The SFP 100 Base-FX interfaces allow connection to many media types limited only by pluggable fiber optic interface options. - Single or dual fiber 100 Base-FX - Multi-mode (MM) or MM extended (MMX) - Single-Mode at 1310 nm or 1550 nm (up to 120 km) - Coarse and Dense Wave Division Multiplexing - Copper 10/100 Base-TX Traditional Applications Most available SFPs use MSA-compliant (SFF-8724) Digital Diagnostics, so these devices provide advanced optical performance monitoring for proactive network administration and maintenance. The small form-factor is also designed for portability and interoperability, so inventory costs and downtime may be reduced with fewer spare parts shared between many systems. 1. Dual Copper (10/100Base-TX) to Fiber (100Base-FX) Converter With a flexible internal architecture, the EM316SW-XY is a price-competitive solution that offers multiple operational modes for various applications. (See Figure 1.) In this mode, the module provides two independent copper-to-fiber Fast Ethernet converters (see Figure 2). This configuration doubles the density of a central office chassis with 30 converters in a managed 16-slot chassis for the price of a single converter. Each 10/100 Base-TX RJ-45 Ethernet port supports autonegotiation and automatic MDI/MDI-X sensing for plugand-play Fast Ethernet connections. Either a straightthrough or crossover cable may be used on either port. The EM316SW-XY high-density solution promotes the usage of media conversion and distance extension over fiber while minimizing the investment in expensive internetworking systems using built-in fiber optic interfaces.

Self-Healing Copper-to-Fiber Converter In this mode, the module acts as a single 10/100Base-TX copper to redundant 100Base-FX fiber (dual SFP based) converter. (See Figure 3.) Two protected fiber optic paths extend the Fast Ethernet segment with virtually no downtime. MRV’s unique self-healing protection allows optical path exchange with nearly zero data loss and without detection by link-based internetworking protocols such as STP or OSPF.

Dual Repeater - Fiber Optic Repeater and Copper Repeater In this mode, the module acts as a pair of repeaters. -Fiber optic repeater between the two 100Base-FX SFPbased interfaces -Copper repeater between the two 10/100 Base-TX interfaces (See Figure 4.) The fiber optic repeater enables distance extension over a fiber optic cable, with full data and clock regeneration for extended distances. The copper repeater offers distance extension over a copper infrastructure with speed and duplex matching, and automatic MDI/MDIX sensing on each RJ-45 interface.

Mixed Media Ethernet Switch In this mode, the module acts as a mixed-media Ethernet switch with two 10/100Base-TX copper interfaces and two fiber-optic SFP-based 100Base-FX interfaces. (See Figure 5.) For additional information including pricing and availability, contact your nearest authorized MRV Communications representative and visit http://www.mrv.com. The mixed-media switch allows the user to add or drop Fast Ethernet traffic to or from a fiber-based linear Fast Ethernet network.
