The FRM220 Family

The FRM220 Family of Fibre Optic Modems, Converters and Line Drivers

The FRM220 Family provides the most extensive range of Fibre Optic Modems, Converters and Line Drivers that can be housed and managed in a single chassis, successfully providing transmission across fibre networks for Governments, Defence, Enterprises and Carriers all around the globe. Carrier class by design the FRM220 enables the integration of a wide variety of interfaces including 10/100, Gigabit and 10Gig Ethernet as well as SDH, E1 / T1, serial data, ISDN Bri and analog voice.

Based on the 2U high, 19" rack-mountable chassis above, this economic In-Band Managed Multi-Service Platform features powerful management, 2 x alarm relays and 2 x modular fan trays. All critical components are hot-swappable, allowing field replacement without downtime, and it is possible to stack up to 10 chassis on one management IP address. Carrier EFM protocols come as standard enabling IP-less management across the fibre network right into the remote modem. There are 1, 2, 4, 8 & 20 slot versions of the chassis available for a family of converter cards including:
