MICS extending a fiber station mod

[jarodwinters]

Its been a while since I've seen it, but I have only seen it once. I was at a site that a company had an 0x32 on one floor of their building and had a fiber station mod on a different floor. They had some Nortel box that converted the fiber cable from the 6 port to either st or sc. They used their existing fiber in the building to get it to another floor. Then at the other end four or five floors down they had the same box that converted back to what ever that fiber end is called. I am looking for that box to do the same thing. Does anyone have a clue as to what that box is called or maybe an NT part number? I know I've seen it so I know I'm not crazy. Thanks!!!

What you're looking for is a fibre extender. Check out the website

for more info.
The Module EXTender is likely what you want for ICS & BCM

Thanks for the reply, but it's not an MCK that I am looking for. I have installed plenty of tem. This was a Nortel box that converted the station modual fiber to either ST or SC, I forget which it was. The MCK's work great but a little out of the price range I am looking for.

I don’t think whatever you saw was a Norstar product. There may have been a something in the mix that said "Nortel" on it (like a switch,) but I am pretty sure they have never made a device specifically for extending Norstar fiber connections.

I know I have never seen or read about one, and I am 99% sure nobody has ever mentioned such a box by Nortel on this site before.

Let me know. That would be great!

The Module EXTender for Norstar sounds like what you want.
Module EXTender is a pair of small surface or
wall mount units that receive the standard
Nortel DS-30 signals over copper or short fiber,
and retransmit them with enough strength to
drive multi-mode long fiber over three kilometers.
