Allied Telesyn Expands its Portfolio of Uplink Modules.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2003 Extensive Selection of Interfaces and Media Types Means Outstanding Flexibility and Scalability for Layer 2 Managed Switches Allied Telesyn, Inc. (www.alliedtelesyn.com), a world leader in network technologies for the access edge, today further demonstrated the outstanding flexibility and scalability of its AT-8000 switch family with the release of a new single-mode long distance 100FX uplink (1) Transmitting from an earth station to a satellite. Contrast with downlink. (2) A port on a network device that is used to connect to another network device rather than a client or server. See MDI port. module. The AT-A45FX/SC-SM15, a single port 100FX single-mode module with SC connectors A fiber-optic cable connector that uses a push-pull latching mechanism similar to common audio and video cables. For bi-directional transmission, two fiber cables and two SC connectors (Dual SC) are generally used. SC is specified by the TIA as FOCIS-3. , support distances up to 15 kilometers. With the addition of this module, the AT-8000 series features a comprehensive family of uplink and stacking modules that are suitable for every network environment: -- AT-A45/SC -- single port 100FX multi-mode module with SC connectors; supports distance up to 2000 meters -- AT-A45/MT -- single port 100FX multi-mode module with MT connectors; supports distance up to 2000 meters -- AT-A45FX/SC-SM15 -- single port 100FX single-mode module with SC connectors; supports distance up to 15 kilometers -- AT-A46 -- single port 10/100/1000T module; supports distance up to 100 meters -- AT-A47 -- unpopulated GBIC (GigaBit Interface Converter) A hardware module used to attach network devices to fiber-based transmission systems such as Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet. The GBIC converts the serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa. module; use with Allied Telesyn AT-G8 GBICs -- AT-STACKM -- two stacking modules plus .5m stacking cable These modules provide flexible uplink connectivity for Allied Telesyn's 8000 series switch family. The AT-8000 family of switches is the preferred choice for copper and fiber networks that require highly reliable, cost-effective Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. Layer 2 switches. The AT-8000 family of managed Layer 2 switches provides exceptional performance, ease of use, and flexibility at an affordable price. Price per port on the switch series is the most competitive in the industry. "Allied Telesyn continues to develop and deploy networking equipment that is the best of class in performance and flexibility at prices that deliver the highest value for our customers," says James Mustarde, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "We continue to demonstrate our commitment to delivering exceptional value through products that are powerful and flexible at prices that are affordable." About Allied Telesyn, Inc. Allied Telesyn, Inc. leads the world in network technologies for the access edge. Since the company's inception in 1987, Allied Telesyn has been developing IP-based network products for use in video, voice and data networks at the metro edge, in education, government agencies and across the enterprise. Allied Telesyn's access, aggregation and core transport technologies range from simple Ethernet adapters The Ethernet hardware required to attach to an Ethernet network. It typically resides on an expansion board, but is sometimes built into the motherboard. An Ethernet adapter is required in each client and server. See Ethernet and network adapter. , hubs and media converters A device that converts from one type of media to another. It typically refers to a hardware device that connects different transmission media; for example, from twisted pair to coax or from twisted pair to optical fiber. to robust multi-layer Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. switches and routers, wireless systems, DTM DTM dermatophyte test medium. and WDM (1) (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) A technology that uses multiple lasers and transmits several wavelengths of light (lambdas) simultaneously over a single optical fiber. transport solutions for delivering real-time voice, video and data. Allied Telesyn's comprehensive support and professional service programs are suited to meet the growing demands of today's switched broadband infrastructures.
