Coastcom Enters the Fiber Arena


ALAMEDA, CA , JULY 31, 2002 - Coastcom, a leading manufacturer of drop-and-insert, and cross connect data communications equipment, has enhanced its product line with the addition of FIND (Fiber Interface Network Device).

Coastcom’s Fiber Interface Network Device (FIND) plugs into new or previously installed D/I Mux III systems to reduce costs and increase T1 transmission distances. With a range of up to 80 kilometers, the FIND eliminates costly T1 repeaters and handles up to 2 bi-directional T1 lines which can both be fiber or one fiber T1 and one copper T1, respectively. It operates in ALPS (Automatic Loop Protection Switching) mode, dual channel bank mode, and drop-and-insert mode.

The Coastcom FIND adds 1:1 protection of the fiber span when used in dual T1 point-to-point configuration. In channel bank mode, the fiber interface module provides APS (Automatic Protection Switching) of fiber connections between D/I Mux systems. Switching time between spans is less than 50msec.
