To meet thesedemands, network managers are relying moreon fiber optics, but the reality faced by manyorganizations and school districts is that layingmore fiber is not always an economical or feasibleoption once the current fiber infrastructure hasbeen exhausted. In order to increase capacity onexisting fiber infrastructure, many organizationsare turning to Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM)technologies.Transition Networks’ Bi-directional Wave DivisionMultiplexing (BWDM) products offer great costsavings by allowing network managers to doublethe capacity of existing fiber routes, with littleto no changes to the general network design.Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM)products by Transition Networks multiplex multipleoptical signals on a single fiber optic link by usingdifferent wavelengths of light in order to carry thedifferent signals, offering a multiplication effectof up to 16 times the capacity of the existingfiber infrastructure. Transition Networks’ WDMproducts allow for the scaling of your project to fityour exact needs easily and affordably.• Realize multiplication of up to 16 times the current fiberinfrastructure• Passive solution – no power source needed• Multiple protocols supported• Requires little to no change of network design• Inexpensive solution

WA5Data Center & Cloud AssuranceS3280-TSTData CenterOvercoming Distance Limitations in the Data CenterThe primary function of the data center continuesto be running the applications necessary formanaging and storing the core operational dataof its organization. Businesses need to provide anadequate and reliable infrastructure for IT in order toavoid disruptions in work and productivity.Many large data center and carrier hotels are oftenmet with the distance limitation of copper cablingwithin their facilities. Adding Transition Networks’copper to fiber products to your data center willallow you to maintain a physical layer, transparent,pass-through connection between the customer’scage and the Meet-Me-Room (MMR). The use ofmedia conversion gives the customer and carrier thereassurance that the data is NOT passing through aswitched network. This guarantees that the customerwill have no added latency, jitter, packet inspections,or potential traffic sniffing.• Central chassis for remote management and fault detection• Configure via dip switches or management module• Transparently pass customer traffic including VLANs• Alarms and traps for quick fault detection• Plug-n-Play installation• Auto Cross• Automatic Link RestorationCloud AssuranceData Center Virtualization Reduces IT ExpenWhether utilizing a private cloud infrastructureor the public cloud, countless enterprise datacenter managers are utilizing cloud computingto off-load the expense and infrastructure drainassociated with internally housing and storingcritical business applications on their own servers.Data center managers that are utilizing virtualizeddatacenters to deliver their IT services are realizingthe tremendous cost savings associated withmoving to the cloud, including: decreased coolingcosts, power consumption, hardware investment,server maintenance and the ability to only pay forwhat storage or service is being used. But movingapplications to the cloud does not mean that datacenter managers no longer need to be concernedabout delivering that service or data stream.Data center managers still need to have processesand plans in place to address the reliability andresiliency of their cloud network, like: networkgrowth strategies, data security measures, datarecovery and redundancy strategies as well asassurance that they are getting the full extent ofthe cloud services they are paying for. Networkinterface devices from Transition Networks providedata center managers with visibility to the entirecloud – from their network, across the WAN, totheir cage within the cloud provider’s datacenter.

The Integration of Security Technology, Building Systems and Energy Management with the Goal of IncreasingEfficiencies While Minimizing our Carbon Footprint8From theft prevention, to protecting intellectual property, to managing energy usage, the demand for security/surveillance/intelligent building networks hasincreased dramatically over the past decade. Not only have the number of these converged networks increased, but so have their geographic size. For thesenetworks to continue increasing their area of surveillance and monitoring, fiber optic cable is being introduced to overcome the distance limitations of copperbasednetworks while offering more design options and green alternatives.SM8TAT2DPASPOEB1013-100SGPOE1013-100SM8TAT2DPActorThermostatMotion DetectionCO 2 SensorIndoor CameraWAP(Wireless Access Point)Indoor CameraLED LightingBiometricReader / Keypad• 48VDC PSE Output Voltage• Improved reliability and transmission performance• Reduces video quality issues common with UTP and coaxIntelligent BuildingsInter-building control systems have advancedbeyond independent networks responsible formonitoring lighting, HVAC, fire alarms, accesscontrol, and energy consumption. Today’s intelligentbuildings are converging all of these capabilitiesover the same IP network that voice, data, andvideo traffic is being passed. The convergence ofbuilding systems and the introduction of IP to thesetraditionally non-Ethernet networks has broughtwith it many efficiencies and capabilities thatwere not realized even 5 years ago. Innovationssuch as Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) powering:LED lighting, HVAC controllers, thermostats andbiometric scanners all over Ethernet networks arenow currently available – with new IP based enddevicesbeing continually developed and released.With such rapid development and innovationtaking place, future proofing the current networkto harness these capabilities becomes a primaryconcern. So the integration of fiber optics andEthernet protocol will be a necessity for this latestproliferation of converged networks needed tosupport intelligent buildings.• IEEE802.3af Power-over-Ethernet compatible• IEEE802.3at Power-over-Ethernet Plus compatible• 48VDC PSE Output Voltage• Over-current protection and under-current detection• Minimum load sensing• Add PoE functionality on a port-by-port basis
