Description

The EC3802-WDM is a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Switch with 10/100 RJ-45 copper and 100Mbps fibre ports, designed for Fibre to the Building or Firer to the Home (FTTB or FTTH) deployment for subscriber access to Service Provider systems.

The EC3802-WDM CPE Switch has one 10/100Mbps copper RJ-45 port for network connections within the subscribers site, and a 100Base-BX singlemode/singlecore fibre port for connecting the device to the Service Provider whose system the enduser customer is sunscribing to. The 100Base-BX optical port can support fibre cable lengths of up to 15km, providing ample range for connection back to a Service Providers FTTx Metro Access Switch (or similar device) serving an apartment block or office building (see Edge-Core's ES3528 and ES3528-WDM Metro Access Switches in the "Product Series" tab).

The EC3802-WDM is easily deployed - it is a Plug-and-Play device with no enduser configuration required. The RJ-45 is Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant so no mains power is required if there is a PoE switch on the customers premises (a Power Adapter is also provided). The CPE Switch provides the wire-speed performance ideal for subscribers accessing triple play service content or for business customers requiring high speed data transmission.The device is compact and weighs 500 grams, and can be desktop or wall mounted.

For the Service Provider, the device supports Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) functions used in traditional carrier networks to effectively maintain and troubleshoot broadband Ethernet networks. These 802.3ah "Ethernet in the First Mile" features support basic (Discovery, Remote Failure Indication, Link Monitor and Remote Loopback) and advanced management (including Reset Remote Devices and Remote Firmware Upgrade).

The EC3802-WDM is a member of Edge-Cores FTTx Switch Series - a comprehensive range of Metro Access Switches and CPE subscriber devices.
