I need to know what parts will be needed to change out from copper connectivity to Fiber connectivity. I have 5 EPNs that are copper connected right now. Please assist!
Thanks,
Bob
 
Remove the DS1 converters and cables, and the fiber translations and re-do the fiber administration

Now you need fiberoptic tranceivers, depending on of you are using single-mode or multi-mode youe need the right ones.

In multi-mode you can have a long or a short fiber.Multi-mode used 9823A Tranceiver up to 1.5 km and the 9823B up to 7.6 km

Single-mode uses the 300A tranceiver max. length 35 km.


PS
for singe-mode the loss on the fiber should be between 10 dB AND 17 dB.
A simple in line attenuator may be required to increase the loss to greater than 10 dB but less than 17 dB (10 dB < end-to-end fiber loss< 17dB). This is an item that people planning the installation need to address. An OTDR report or optical power meter readings will determine if in-line attenuation is needed.

Please let me know if the information that was provided is helpfull.

The Fiber to telco adapter should be 9823A
The board TN570C(still).
Fiber cables should be S/T connector type.


Hope this helps

As a minimum, you will be removing the DS1 Converters (TN1654) and &quot;spider&quot; cables. The fiber optic transiever will go on the TN573 SNI slot and TN570 EI slot. The transiever you use depends on the fiber and distance. 9823A for multi-mode (upto about a mile and a half), 9824A for multi-mode up to about 4.5 miles), 300A for single mode up to about 22 miles. Anything past that remains as DS1C.
