EM316GEMX4R
Time Division Multiplexers
The Fiber Driver™ LinkMux family from MRV is a line of time division multiplexer (TDM) modules designed to optimize fiber and wavelength use and to provide redundancy. The EM316GEMX4R (GEMX4R) module multiplexes four channels of Gigabit Ethernet over a proprietary 5-Gbps optical trunk using a single wavelength. The GEMX4R uses standard SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, allowing optimization per each individual interface for each application. The module supports the full range of MRV fiber-optic and copper SFPs.
The EM316LNXNM-OT network manager provides a command line interface (CLI) and an SNMP API to monitor and provision the GEM4R module. The SNMP interface supports industry standard network management systems (NMS) including MRV’s MegaVision Pro®, which provides real-time access to link and interface status, operating temperature, fan status, power supply voltage, performance monitoring, and more.
