Optical Transport Solutions Datasheet FD LinkMux Time Division Multiplexers Features and Benefits Two channels of Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel (1GFC) – optimize the utilization of existing fiber plant and available wavelengths Hot-swappable SFP interfaces – enhanced deployment flexibility and in-service maintenance Network transparent operation – does not alter data or packet framing Ultra low latency – excellent for Digital Video applications Real-time interface monitoring through SFP Digital Diagnostics (SFF-8472) – early detection of potential network problems Overview The Fiber Driver® LinkMux family from MRV is a line of time division multiplexer (TDM) modules designed to boost fiber and wavelength utilization and to provide redundancy. The LinkMux EM316GEMX2R module transports two channels of Gigabit Ethernet using only a single wavelength. The LinkMux multirate EM316MRMX2R module aggregates two channels of either Fibre Channel (1GFC) or Gigabit Ethernet, onto a single wavelength. Fiber Driver LinkMux modules use standard SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, allowing optimization of each individual interface as needed for a given application. The modules support the full range of MRV fiber optic and copper SFPs, making them an excellent solution for a wide range of applications. For example, using a WDM wavelength-specific SFP on the trunk port allows direct connection to a WDM Mux/DeMux without the need for a transponder.

With fewer wavelengths, the less expensive CWDM technology becomes an option. Multiplexing thirty-two 1-gigabit Ethernet data channels normally requires the use of DWDM technology with one wavelength dedicated to each channel. The EM316GEMX2R requires only sixteen wavelengths, which allows the use of CWDM technology. Source Agreement (MSA) standard (SFF-8472) that reports a number of interface parameters including the following listed values. - Optical transmit power - Voltage & temperature - Serial number - Other factory settings - Optical receive power - Vendor ID - Wavelength With a Fiber Driver network management module, a Fiber Driver system including a LinkMux module may be managed from a command line interface (CLI) or through SNMP. The SNMP interface is compatible with industry standard network management systems (NMS) including MegaVision Pro® from MRV Communications. Management provides real-time access to vital operating information including link and interface status, operating temperature,fan status,power supply voltage,performance monitoring, and more. Each Fiber Driver LinkMux module includes two SFP trunk interface slots for redundant link capability, an invaluable feature for mission critical applications. A lost link on the active trunk of the module can automatically switch over to the secondary trunk and send a management alert. At under 100 ns, the switch happens so quickly that no data is lost and no link-state protocol such as Spanning Tree, RIP, or OSPF is triggered. The event remains transparent to both the network and the end user. Switchovers based upon optical receive power thresholds and time of day may be set through management. Many SFPs provide Digital Diagnostics as a powerful tool for managing the pluggable interface. Digital Diagnostics, fully supported by the LinkMux modules, is a Multi- For additional information including pricing and availability, contact your MRV Communications sales representative or visit http://www.mrv.com.
