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.

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
