ave money on T1 costs while

enjoying high-speed data
transfers. How? By using fiber
optic cable and a pair of T1 Fiber
Muxes!

The muxes combine four T1
channels over a single fiber optic
link— that saves you the expense
of multiple long-distance T1 runs
by using a single fiber cable. Our
850-nm multimode model trans­mits up to nearly 7 miles (11.3 km),
and our 1310-nm single-mode
version transmits up to 30 miles
(48.3 km)!

With fiber optic cable, your
communications are secure. Plus,
fiber is immune to EMI and RFI
and can provide protection
against harmful ground loops.

When you need to test the
fiber connection or perform

Multiplex four or more T1 or E1 channels

over fiber optic cable!

diagnostics, you and another
network operator can work at a
mux on each end of the link and
communicate back and forth with
each other via a full-duplex voice
service channel. Simply plug in a
headset (included with each mux)
to the mux’s front panel, push the
Call button to alert your partner
on the other end, and talk. It’s just
that easy! And it doesn’t matter
how much traffic is being sent
over the link— your data will be
transmitted as fast as ever at T1
rates because the voice service
channel operates independently
of network activity.

The T1 Fiber Muxes also
feature comprehensive diag­nostics that make sure every­thing’s running smoothly. Each of

the four T1 ports has its own
indicators that show link status at
a glance. If you have fewer than
four lines running into a mux, you
can disable alarm indications
normally generated by an unused
port. When you power up a mux,
each unit performs an automatic
test to local and remote
loopbacks. You can also manage
a mux by connecting its RS-232
port to an ASCII terminal.

Rackmount a T1 Fiber Mux
using our T1/E1 Fiber Mux
Rackmount Kit. Only 1U high, the
Fiber Muxes take up minimal
space inside a standard rack.

For high speed and security,
a pair of T1 Fiber Muxes is your
inexpensive solution for campus
and enterprise networks.

f you manage a network with

heavy data traffic and you
demand high bandwidth for high
speeds, Black Box has what you
need to send your data digitally
over super-fast T1 or E1
communication lines.

Your global hook-ups.

Developed more than 30
years ago and commercially
available since 1983, T1 and E1
go virtually anywhere phone lines
go, but faster. T1 sends data
at up to 1.544 Mbps. E1 supports

speeds up to 2.048 Mbps.
No matter where you need to
connect—the Americas, Europe,
or Asia—T1 and E1 can get your
data there fast!

Flexibility for many applications.

With T1 or E1, you can drive
a private, point-to-point line;
provide corporate access to the
Internet; enable inbound access
to your Web server—even
support a voice/data/fax/video
WAN that extends halfway
around the world!

Technically Speaking

Both offer cost-effective
connections.

In recent years, competition
among telco service providers
has made T1 and E1 services
increasingly affordable. In fact,
most companies seriously
considering a shift to T1 or E1
find they can negotiate even
better rates with just a little
comparative cost analysis.

Typical applications include:

• Accessing public Frame

Relay networks or public

switched telephone networks
for voice and fax.

• Merging voice and data
traffic. A single T1 or E1 line
can give you several
additional voice and data
lines at no additional cost.

• Making LAN connections.
If you’re linking LANs, a T1
or E1 line offers excellent
performance.

• Sending bandwidth­intensive data such as
CAD/CAM, MRI, CAT-scan
images, and other graphics
with large files.

iber Muxes XL are simple,

flexible, and cost-effective
solutions for transporting multiple
T1, E1, and Fast Ethernet high­speed data links at distances
up to nearly 25 miles (40.2 km).

A Fiber Mux XL solution starts
with a T1 or E1 base unit that has
either an AC or DC power supply.
The base unit features a fixed
Ethernet port (Port A) and three
other ports that you can configure
to your needs. Ports B, C, and D

support hot-swappable modules
and provide you with a scalable
solution that’s flexible enough to
meet the specific requirements
of a broad range of applications.
Outfit these three ports with 850­or 1310-nm fiber modules,
4-channel T1 or E1 modules
(choose from balanced or
unbalanced E1 modules), or
Fast Ethernet modules. See the
chart below for a variety of
configuration options.

All critical components can
be automatically backed up. This
ensures there is no single point
of failure. Using two fiber modules,
a Fiber Mux XL automatically
switches over upon link failure.

Setup, control, and diagnostics
can be performed via a supervi­sory port using an ASCII terminal
or Telnet™, an SNMP manage­ment station via the Ethernet
ports, or a dedicated separate
Ethernet management port.

Mix and match
modules to create
a solution that’s right
for your network.

Module available for
T1 or balanced or
unbalanced E1.

Rackmount Kit
available.
