ForeFront™ Model 1195

  The Model 1195 is an Optical Multiplexer that simultaneously extends up to eight E1s and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection over 1310nm single-mode fiber cable for distances of 50 km or 1550nm single-mode fiber cable for distances up to 80 km. With built-in high speed switching support, the Model 1195 offers a robust 1+1 protection switched path over two fiber optic pairs.

Carriers, service providers and wireless GSM operators use the Model 1195 for simple extension and backhaul of up to four voice-bearing E1s and data-bearing Ethernet connections from a remote cell site, Point-of-Presence (PoP), or MxU to a Central Office (CO). It is the ideal solution for 3G cellular telephony solutions requiring the simultaneous backhaul of voice and mobile data from remote cell sites to local telephone exchanges.

Enterprise customers use the ForeFront™ E1/Ethernet Mux to extend the reach of E1 leased lines and broadband Ethernet traffic from the telco demarcation point to on-campus buildings.

The Model 1195 is offered in both 220 VAC and -48 VDC power options. The fiber optic port is available standard on an FC/PC optical connector supporting 1310 or an optional 1550nm wavelength.

The E1 electrical ports are available with either an RJ-48C balanced 120-ohm interface or a 75-ohm dual-BNC unbalanced interface with HDB3 line coding. E1 ports can be set to internal or loop timing. The Ethernet port is a 10/100Base-T auto-negotiating interface that supports full and half-duplex operation.

Ports can be easily configured from front panel DIP switches. The fiber mux is completely managed via a CLI interface accessible via a DB-9 RS-232 console as well as from a telnet session. Alternately, a complete SNMPv2 agent is included for management via any standard SNMP based management system. An optional SNMP based PC management application is likewise available.
