CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2004

Canoga Perkins, a leading supplier of carrier class fiber optic extension equipment and cost effective CWDM/DWDM transport solutions, will be exhibiting its new series of military series Fiber Optic Modems at one of the largest C4I conferences and expositions at the Washington Convention center, May 11 to 13 in booth number 306. TechNet International features exhibits from more than 250 technology leaders and discussions by leading military experts. The new fully managed 2300 series Fiber Optic Modems will be on display for the first time.

The 2300 Series Fiber Optic Modems allow Military branches, Government agencies and system integrators to greatly extend the reach of serial data and cryptographic links over fiber optic cable. The 2340 Fiber Optic Modem operates asynchronously at speeds up to 1.544 Mbps and synchronously at speeds up to 2.048 Mbps. The 2370 Fiber Optic Modem operates asynchronously at speeds up to 15 Mbps and synchronously at speeds up to 20 Mbps. Clocking options include external, internal and slave timing. Using a built in clock synthesizer, the 2340 and 2370 Fiber Optic Modems can generate dozens of commonly used clock rates including Nx56 Kbps and Nx64 Kbps.

Modular in design, the 2340 and 2370 Fiber Optic Modems support hot swappable, field installable electrical interfaces. End-to-end control leads are supported for applications requiring protocol handshaking. 1310 nm multimode, 1310 nm single mode and 1550 nm single mode optics versions are available. Single fiber versions are also available. ST and SC optic connectors are supported. The units can be ordered as 19" or 23" rack mounts or tabletop/stand-alone versions.

Configuration and management of the Fiber Optic Modems is accomplished locally with the built-in EIA-232-E terminal port or remotely using advanced SideBand(TM) Management technology. Our multi-technology Universal Chassis System (UCS) Domain Manager provides user-friendly menus for end-to-end non-intrusive unit configuration, status and control. Remote access is available by using an external modem connected to the 2340 or 2370 terminal port or through SideBand management.

The 2340 and 2370 Fiber Optic Modems are fully redundant providing hardware and fiber protection for mission critical applications. The software selectable redundancy feature allows one pair of 2340s or 2370s to function as a primary link while another pair of 2340s or 2370s act as a secondary link. This creates a completely redundant circuit for maximum uptime.

To fit virtually every military and KG application, the 2340 and 2370 Fiber Optic Modems have several enclosure options. The 6U high UCS 1000 chassis can accommodate up to 15 rack mounted 2340 and 2370 modules. The 1U high UCS 1001 chassis holds two 2340s or 2370s modules and the manageable 1040 tabletop standalone enclosure or non-managed 1050 tabletop standalone enclosure houses one 2340 or 2370 module.
