iSFC® Evaluation Kit with Built-in Micro-OTDR
Our innovative, Small Form Factor SFP functions as a Single Fiber, Full Duplex CWDM Transceiver, but with a number of remarkable improvements. These improvements make it a cost-collapsing solution for Communications Service Providers (CSPs), Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and System Integrators.
We also offer an optical supervisory channel (OSC) version of the iSFC, for DWDM applications.
Major Features and Benefits:
- Revolutionary built-in micro OTDR (uOTDR™) for fast fault detection and location. Reduce MTTR (Mean-Time-To-Recovery or Repair) while saving thousands or millions of dollars in OpEx with this Fast Fiber Fault Finder™. >View British Telecom research on the commercial implications of this
- Reflection Immune Operation™: Neutralizes optical crosstalk and loopback problems associated with legacy SFSW transceivers >More info on RIO(tm)
- True SFSW operation means cutting many deployment and administration costs in half (or theoretically doubling capacity). >View white paper
- Option to get optical supervisory channel (OSC) version instead, for DWDM applications. >More info at Lightwave Magazine
- Now supported by Metrodata Ltd. FCM9004 EDD (Ethernet Demarcation Device). Detect and locate faults directly from EDD display >> Metrodata website and white paper
