Introduction

Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) has always been an attractive option for Internet
access. It has all the benefits of optical fiber. It provides a future-proof network, in
that you do not have to go through the hassles of upgrading from ADSL to xDSL, or
digital co-ax to digital wireless. It does not have to struggle with electromagnetic
interference problems, and with no active “outside-plant” components, it offers the
highest reliability. Moreover, it does not require electric power and is immune to
lightning and other transients. Thes e properties of fiber lead to the lowest possible
power and operational costs, such as maintenance, provisioning and facilities
planning.

The EC3002 Media Converter is an ideal Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) for
an FTTH system. The CPE is a single-channel fiber-to-copper media converter
housed in a compact unit. It allows a service provider to extend an Ethernet
connection over optical fiber directly to a subsc riber . The CPE has an embedded (no
external plug/socket) 100BASE-FX full-duplex single-fiber single-mode cable
connection that runs from the service provider’s central office (CO). The
single-mode fiber connection can be run up to distances of 15 km from the CO. The
CPE also provides one standard 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 Ethernet port for
connecting to a customer’s PC, switch, or other network device using twisted-pair
cable.

Description of Hardware

The EC3002 is an FTTH CPE product for high-speed Internet access applications.
The CPE includes an embedded fiber cable conn ection, an RJ-45 Ethernet port, a
DIP-switch for the RJ-45 port settings, an internal DIP switch for Auto MDI-X, flow
control, MAC learning and Link Pass Through, LED status indicators, and an AC
power adapter connection.

Fiber Cable Connection

The single-mode fiber cable connection from t he service provider’s CO is embedde d
(connected internally) within the CPE. There is no external plug and socket
connection, which prevents the CPE from bein g disconnected accident ly. Also, there
are no configuration settings or maintenance necessary for t he fiber cable link.

The single-fiber connection supports a 100BASE-FX full-duplex link to the CO. The
CPE’s fiber transceiver uses W avelength Division Mul tiplexing (WDM) techn ology to
achieve bi-directional operation (1550 nm transmit, 1310 nm receiv e) over a single
optical fiber. The WDM single-mode fiber link can run up to 15 km from the CO.

UTP Port

The RJ-45 Ethernet port labeled “UTP” operates at 10 or 100 Mbps, and supports
auto-negotiation of speed, duplex mode (i.e., half or full duplex), and flow control.
The UTP port can also be forced to a specific speed and duplex mode via a
DIP-switch setting. Using the DIP switch you can also set the port for MDI or MDI-X
operation, so you can use straight-through cable for all connection s.
