The Series 1100E/110Ei digitally transmits E1 signals for distances of 6km (multimode) and 100km (singlemode) over one or two fibers. The unit supports full duplex operation at data rates up to 2.048Mbps (E1). The 1100’s capabilities are enhanced by its compatibility with Meridian’s PC based SpectraSmart Network Management and Diagnostic software system. SpectraSmart monitors operating parameters of the transmission system as well as allowing features like a remote optical bypass card, for optically bypassing any faulted card in a ring configuration. The optical bypass card is connected to the series 1100 through two pin terminal block located on the front panel. For additional information see the SpectraSmart and BPX brochures.

The 1100E is available as rack mount cards that can be installed in all of Meridian’s card chassis, desk chassis and 19” racking frames. The Series 1100 can be converted to a module by installing it in the SR-500 card chassis. This system can be configured in either star (module to rack) or trunking (rack to rack) configurations. In addition, it can be used in a daisy chain configuration with the Series BPX fiber optic bypass switch to insure system reliability. This product requires no user adjustments and features superior quality and performance.
