Fiber Optic Modem Products

Horsebridge provides copper and Fibre optic modems, converters and multiplexers for industry and governments around the world. The technologies that we offer includes Ethernet/Fast Ethernet; Frame Relay; E1/T1; E3/T3; broadband transmission (SDH/SONET), Fibre optics, and SNMP management. The depth and breadth of Horsebridge's capabilities enable the company to provide standards-based, innovative products with incomparable flexibility support for multiple service offerings.

Fibre Optic and Copper Modems
Both copper and optical Fibre modems are available in the marketplace. We offer both copper and optical Fibre modems, applicable in all the major areas of use. Reliable communication for high data volumes across large distances is only possible via optical Fibre lines. Nowadays, optical Fibre modems are considered key components of Fibre optic transmission systems.

Most of our products are inherently capable of single mode and multimode operation. Standard modems are available as RS232, RS422, RS485-2W, RS485-4W, E1, T1, DS1, E2, E3, X.21, Ethernet 10BaseT and 100BaseT.

Fibre Optic Converters
The converter is a solution for the conversion of electrical signals into optical signals, thus enabling a copper network to be connected with optical Fibre systems also. Interface converters are used in copper-based networks for the conversion of electrical signals from one standard into the other. The application of this solution is necessary for proper connections of networks of various topologies and components.

Depending on local conditions, data transmissions are possible across distances of 20 km or more. The solution is equipped with standard interfaces (e.g. Ethernet, RS485, RS422, RS232).

Typical Applications and Solution Areas

Our products are appropriate for the fullest range of applications and have been utilised for solutions in a range of areas including:-

SAN systems (Storage Area Networks)
Metro Access
Data Transmission / Conversion
Transportation and traffic management
Logistics
Broadcast
Military

MACS4000 Multi Access Connectivity System
Multi Access Connectivity System
with extended management functions
for carriers and enterprises

The MACS 4000 System enables the user to design its own Multi Access Connectivity System by using different modem or converter cards. The various options of using copper or Fibre optic modems and converters or media converters and the modularity of these cards fulfill nearly all demands of a high end application.

The universal Pandatel MACS4000 system enables the installation of various Pandatel rack cards into the same rack and is also capable to take some of Pandatel´s Access Multiplexer.

Using VT100, Telnet or SNMP to access the management simplifies it for every network administrator to integrate the new MACS4000 system in an existing environment.

Future software updates via VT100 or FTP make the system easy to maintain and give a high investment security. Services like bandwidth limitation or the possibility to monitor the temperature, data transport or power supply of the local and remote rack offer for example carriers a perfect solution to sell services and to manage a network from a central point..

With the new web-based graphical user interface MACS View Pandatel offers an easy and comfortable to use configuration and monitoring tool which shows the stati and signals of the whole system. As well cards from Pandatel´s old System 2100 can be integrated in this new platform
by using a sub management agent.

FH/FL-E E3/T3 Fibre Optic Modem
Multimode or Singlemode E3/T3 Fibre-optic modems

The E3/T3-type Fibre-optic modems FH-E and FL-E are used for the bi-directional conversion of signals transmitted from E3/T3 interfaces to optical Fibre.

An important advantage of this solution is the possibility of transparent data transmission that allows for the flexible and coherent utilization of the specific devices involved in the process.

The application of optical Fibre ensures high reliability, galvanic separation of the particular connected devices and large capacities of transmission routes.

When an optional WDM Fibre doubler is used, the capacity values increase significantly since data is received and transferred through only a single Fibre.

Features:

850 or 1300 nm MM, 1300 or 1550 nm SM
Data rates: E3: 34.368 Mbps T3: 44.736 Mbps
