The OP+ETH is a standalone 10/100/1000 Mb/s triple-speed Ethernet switch with five RJ45 data ports and a dual-fiber interface. It allows up to a Gigabit of Ethernet connectivity for single wavelength or Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) optical transmission systems, while providing local connectivity among the five copper ports and aggregating all copper-based network traffic for transmission over the fiber optic interface. The Ethernet OPTO+™ module represents one interface in the wide range of interfaces available in the OPTO+ family of products implemented on the leading 6800+™ processing platform.
