Announcing Low-Cost Fiber Optic Conversion for ATM, FDDI, Token Ring, Fast Ethernet, SONET, Ethernet and others.IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 1995--IMC Networks is introducing a new series of protocol-independent fiber optic converters. Modular FiberConverters are designed to convert 1300nm single-mode fiber See singlemode fiber. to 850nm or 1300nm multi-mode fiber See multimode fiber. optics. FiberConverters support run-length limited data streams at speeds up to 165 Mbps. Conversion is done by installing two interchangeable Single- to Multi-Mode (S2MM) modules in slots in the FiberConverter base unit. The compact base units are available in three versions: FiberConverter/1 features slots for 1 conversion (1 each S2MM module set) and is table-top or, optionally, wall-mountable. FiberConverter/2 features slots for 2 conversions (2 each S2MM module sets) and is table-top or, optionally, wall-mountable. FiberConverter/4 features slots for 4 conversions (4 S2MM module sets) and is 19" rack-mountable or is table-top or, optionally, wall-mountable. S2MM modules come with STII-type connectors and are supplied in sets of two (2). The S2MM/850 module converts 1300nm single-mode fiber to 850nm multi-mode fiber. The S2MM/1300 module converts 1300nm single-mode fiber to 1300nm multi-mode fiber. Each FiberConverter base unit is supplied with an internal, 115/230VAC (Volts Alternating Current) See volt and AC. , wide-area input, UL/CSA/VDE certified power supply and, upon request, is shipped with the appropriate country power cord. For installations where an AC power source is not available, FiberConverters can be supplied, on a special order basis, with a -48VDC VDC Volts Direct Current VDC Venture Development Corporation VDC Vehicle Dynamic Control VDC Village Development Committee (Nepal) VDC Virtual Data Center VdC Verband der Cigarettenindustrie power supply. FiberConverters will begin shipping in April 1995. Base unit pricing unit pricing n. The pricing of goods on the basis of cost per unit of measure. will start at $250.
