Canary’s Fast Ethernet converters connect twisted-pair and fiber optic segments to extend

Fast Ethernet links. They are ideal for connecting user desktops with low-cost work-group

switches and servers – or for switch-to-switch links. Canary’s UTP-to-Fiber converters are

used to economically distribute Fast Ethernet capacity to user desktops throughout the

network. CFT-206X converters are the first in the industry to speedup Spanning Tree link

recovery by employing Link Fault Signaling (LFS) technology while supporting Far-End

Fault-Indication and Parallel Detection capabilities. Specially modified unidirectional (one-

way fiber transmission) versions are available on special request for security applications

– contact Canary directly for more information.

CFT-20W-XX – UTP to Single-mode with ITU-specified CWDM wavelengths

Canary’s CFT-20W-XX series of Coarse Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (CWDM) converters provide an efficient way to launch
multiple Fast Ethernet channels for transport through CWDM
Multiplexers and provide access to high capacity CWDM based
networks.

Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing reduces network
congestion with a minimum infrastructure investment. Using discrete
wavelengths (one per channel), multiple data channels can be
transported in parallel over a single-mode fiber cable.

Detection capabilities.

Canary’s CFT-20W-XX Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing
converters are designed to meet industry needs for an economical
way to access CWDM point-to-point campus and metro-ring
networks. They are used with Main Distribution Frame (central
office) Multiplexers and with remote site Optical Add/Drop
Multiplexers (OADMs) to insert and/or recover optical traffic from
single-mode fiber segments. Specific models provide transmission
on one of eight λs, each an ITU specified, CWDM wavelength.

CWDM converters are functionally identical to standard units with
the exception that units at opposite ends of a fiber link must be
models with identical wavelengths in order to maintain a common
channel link e.g. if one device is operating at 1470 ηm, the second
must transmit and receive on the same CWDM wavelength.
Similarly, a standalone 1470 ηm unit can be connected to a
CCM-1600 or CCN-2000 / CCN-0400 chassis module with the
same wavelength.

Standard versions support 80 Kilometer transmission distances.

Please refer to the Standalone / Rackable CWDM data pages for information on Passive Optical Multiplexer / De-Multiplexers and OADMs.

There are eighteen CWDM wavelengths (λs) specified. Eight standard wavelengths plus four O-band λs are usable over most standard single-mode fiber.
Canary offers products for the standard eight wavelengths plus four O-band λs: 1470, 1490, 1510, 1530, 1550, 1570, 1590, 1610 ηm + 1290, 1310, 1330, 1350 ηm
