MIDASCORE ADLF CONVERTER

MIDASCORE ADLF CONVERTER
ADLF CONVERTER
MidasCore introduces industry’s first managed media converter with Automatic Detection of Link Fault
and switching features. It is designed to provide high-speed recovery (less than 40 ms) of mission-critical
segments within networks serving Telco/ISP backbones, cable operators, military, banking and enterprise
networks.
For full auto-switch protection capability, these converters can be used with any SC SFPs/ SC Media
converters with appropriate wavelength. The redundant fiber optic pathways can be routed either via
strand diversity, where the secondary protection fiber circuit resides in the same fiber optic cable jacket as
the primary connection, or in route diversity protection architectures where the secondary protection fiber
circuit is routed through a completely different physical pathway. Route diversity ensures that physical
damage to a single fiber optic cable would not shut down the secondary path as well.

APPLICATIONS
When network reliability is an issue and the integrity of a link is mission-critical to the network,
redundancy is a consideration. MC ADLF Media Converter is targeted at the market segment that requires
reliability in their network. MC ADLF media converter provides stable and affordable fiber redundancy in
critical Ethernet and Fast Ethernet environments.
The redundancy option is activated by default. One fiber connection is active (SD1) at a time. This primary
connection (SD1) is in the forwarding stage while the other fiber connection (SD2) is put in the disabled
state. If a failure on the primary fiber occurs it is detected by the converter and the secondary fiber is
activated automatic, becoming the primary link.
A similar type of redundancy could be achieved using a Spanning Tree Protocol bridging scheme. The
redundant media converter is better, in some cases, because its auto-failover circuit switches faster than
the redundant bridging scheme using the Spanning Tree algorithm. It takes several moments for the
Spanning Tree algorithm to redirect the network path, potentially losing data, momentarily disrupting
traffic flow.
Below Figure shows a typical installation to a network with redundant fiber links. Distances can be
extended between two switches connected through two different BTS.
