New product offers both CDIM and FOM compatibility
Wallingford, CT (USA) - DNE Technologies, a provider
of tactical voice and data communication solutions, introduces a
new fiber-optic modem product with protocol conversion capability.
DNE's new CV-FOM unit combines the features of Conditioned Di-Phase
Modems (CDIMs) with Fiber Optic Modems (FOMs) as well as offering
conversion to and from Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) protocols. Each
CV-FOM chassis contains two individually-configurable converters,
equipped with both fiber-optic and copper-wire connections.
DNE's new CV-FOM extends the DoD's capability
to support TRI-TAC digital trunk groups and new, emerging satellite
technologies while utilizing the reliability and economy of fiber
connections. The CV-FOM offers interoperability with deployed JTC3A
9109C compliant FOMs at rates up to 8.448Mbps. In addition, the
CV-FOM preserves all of the protocol conversion capabilities of
its widely-installed base of CV-2048 and CV-8448 NRZ/CDI/Fiber conversion
modules. DNE's complete line of conversion products allow the bridging
of NRZ and CDI protocols so cameras, routers, cryptos, and other
NRZ devices can be positioned at significant distances from the
satellite terminal.
In addition, DNE's new CV-FOM offers new features,
such as Auto-Baud Detect and a DTE/DCE selection, minimizing the
need for field adapters and reducing connect-up time. The CV-FOM
offers over 50 baud rates, ranging from 16kpbs to 8.448Mbps.
Two CV-8448 models are being offered as dual
rack-mount units. Each model contains two individually configurable
converter modules in a one-RU chassis (1.75" high), configurable
through a terminal connector at the rear of the chassis. The converter
modules offer balanced CDI rates from 16kbps to 4608kbps and Unbalanced
CDI rates from 72kbps to 8448kbps in both copper-wire and fiber-optic
connectors (with a maximim copper-wire rate of 4608kbps). The individual
converter unit can be "hot swapped" without powering down
the unit. The CV-8448-D supports multimode fiber over 62.5/125_m
@1300nm, while the CV-8448-DSM supports singlemode fiber over 9/125_m@1300nm.
The CV-8448 Converter and DNE's ATM Concentrator
Line permit full use of emerging broadband satellite services, while
allowing data communication and encryption devices to be physically
grouped to simplify monitoring and control of communication links.
