Constantly increasing demand for bandwidth, and the geographical spread of data networks, have increased the deployment of fiber optics at all application levels.

Today's network infrastructures require open systems based on fiber optics that can be installed easily and adapted flexibly according to changing requirements.

The rapid development of the information technology drives the convergence of local and wide area networks (LAN / WAN). This convergence demands new connectivity for local enterprise networks, the Enterprise Access.

Protocol transparent converters enable the direct interfacing of communications equipment such as switches, routers and bridges to long-haul single mode networks.

Due to this transparency, these components are not limited to particular applications, but can be used with a variety of applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH, ESCON® or Fibre Channel.
