Fiber Optic Modem with Remote Control

RAD’s FOMi-40 high speed fiber optic modem with remote control is a long-range fiber optic modem that transmits data up to 100 km (62 miles), and is a secure data link between computers, routers, multiplexers, and other data communication devices. The FOMi-40 high speed fiber optic modem with remote control operates at twelve selectable synchronous data rates from 56 kbps to 2048 kbps. The FOMi-40 high speed fiber optic modem is compatible with a variety of DTE interfaces, optical interfaces, and different grades of fiber optic cable.

• Extended transmission range up to 100 km (62 miles)

• In-band management of local and remote units saves on fiber

• Operates over multimode or single mode fiber

• Laser diode option for extended range

 

The FOMi-40 is a high speed sync fiber optic modem with remote configuration and monitoring. It supports user-selectable rates from 56 kbps to 2.048 Mbps. The FOMi-40 supports the common fiber optic wavelengths and connector types, operating over different types of fiber optic links.

 

An in-band management channel allows the user to monitor, control and configure the remote unit using the same fiber links as for data transmission, with no interference between them.

In tail-end applications, the local FOMi-40 automatically detects the external clock rate and is locked accordingly. It also updates the remote unit’s clock rate via the management channel. This enables synchronization of local and remote units to the network clock.

 

The FOMi-40 is available as a standalone unit or as a card version for the LRS-24 19" rack with central SNMP management. A double modem card is available for the LRS-24, which supports up to 24 modems in a 4U/6U-high chassis.
