The FC3X00 models provide a new level of price/ performance for extending an E3/DS-3 G.703 signal over a pair of single-mode or multi-mode Fibers. The FC3X00 will extend E3/DS-3 over several kilometres.

Fiber Extender: FC3x00

The three FC3X00 models provide single mode short haul, single mode long haul or multimode fiber interfaces using SC connectors. The E3/DS-3 interface uses a pair of BNC connectors. The FC3X00 provides a clear channel or unchannelised E3/DS-3 path over the fiber. This means that the signal can be either framed or unframed.

Optional rack-mounting kits are available for up to 2 or 18 units.
