Chapter 1
Overview
The 9120 is a Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter. It extends multi mode Gigabit segments up to 70km
over single mode fiber. It is designed for installation into the Canoga Perkins 9101 Chassis and is also
available as a standalone unit. The unit is especially suited for the long-distance extension of Gigabit
LAN segments. Extension port options include 1310nm on multimode or single mode fiber and
1550nm on singlemode fiber.
The 9120 introduces Gigabit extension capability to Canoga Perkins 9101 chassis. It is field
installable and can coexist with Canoga Perkins 8829 10Mbps, and 9119 100Mbps Ethernet
converters. The 9120 is a NEBS Level 3 compliant (in chassis) product designed and built with
quality components to ensure reliability and longevity.
The 9120 features user controllable Link Loss Forwarding (LLF), Canoga Remote Fault (RMTF), and
Link Loss Echo (LLE). The user may enable or disable these features from a set of easily accessed
switches located on the front panel of the 9120. Primary application is the interconnection of gigabit
Enterprise Switches and Service Provider Backbone Networks. Within the 9101 platform, the 9120
addresses the Service Providers' requirements for Transparent LAN Services across a widely
dispersed customer environment and physical plant.
The 9120 Media Converter is available in three categories:
•
Gigabit Ethernet 850nm MM SC
•
Gigabit Ethernet 1310nm SM SC
•
Gigabit Ethernet 1550nm SM SC
