What is Media Conversion?

• Media converters are devices that convert one
  cable type (media) to another - e.g.
• Twisted pair (Cat 5, 5e, 6) to fiber
• Fiber to fiber mode converter (single- to
  multi-mode)
• Coax (10Base-2) to twisted pair
• Converters can be
• Ethernet based
• Layer 1 (media) e.g. copper/fiber
• Layer 2 (media and speed) e.g. copper/fiber
• 10 Mbps HDX to 100 Mbps FDX
• Protocol Independent Mode converters, T1/E1,
  DS3/E3
• Majority of converters sold are copper to fiber

Where is Fiber Used?

• Point-to-point high speed networking, e.g. FTTB
  (Building) or FTTH (Home)
• Inter-office, e.g. short haul FTTD (Desktop)
• Switch-to-switch links, e.g. collapsed backbone
  or star networks
• Inter-building links, e.g. office/factory
• Leased fiber for long distance transmission, e.g.
  FTTC (Curb)
• Where the protocol only works with fiber, e.g.
  Fibre Channel

15
Types of Fiber

• Multi-mode Fiber (MM)
• Typically 50 or 62.5 micron core
• Will work with low cost optics (LED)
• High loss, low bandwidth, short distance
• Relatively easy installation
• Single-mode Fiber (SM)
• Typically 9 micron core
• Single strand of silica core
• Works with LASER based optics
• Low loss, high-bandwidth
• Higher skilled installers needed

16
Types of Fiber (cont.)Single-Strand Fiber

• Normally, IT equipment uses two strands one to
  receive light, the other to send
• Now, advances in optics allow users to
  send/receive using only one strand
• Why do this?
• Double the data capacity of cable
• Mix protocols over the existing fiber plant e.g.
  Ethernet over one strand, DS3/E3 over the other
• Single-Strand versions are now available for most
  of IMC Networks products

17
Single-Strand Fiber (cont.)

• How does it work?
• Light is transmitted at TWO different wavelengths
  (think Wave Division Multiplexing, or think TWO
  different colors)
• In one direction light _at_ 1310nm is used, in the
  return direction light _at_ 1550nm is used

18
Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM)

• Increase the capacity of existing fiber by
  multiplexing multiple optical carriers having
  different wavelengths, over the same fiber strand
• CWDM is typically eight or fewer wavelengths per
  strand
• Wider 20 nm channel spacing allows use of
  uncooled lasers, lowering manufacturing cost
• CWDM versions are now available for a variety of
  IMC Networks products, including SFPs. Call for
  info.

19
Why Use Media Converters?Benefit 1 - Price

• Optical ports on network hardware are normally
  more expensive than media converters.
• Instead of an expensive switch with a fiber port,
  buy a fiber to copper media converter and pair it
  with a less expensive copper switch.
• Preserve investments in expensive fiber hardware
  such as server blades, by using media converters

20
Why Use Media Converters?Benefit 2 - Flexibility

• Easily integrate new fiber types and technologies
  with existing network hardware
• Combine hardware designed for different fiber
  protocols onto the same network
• Combine multiple network segments running
  different rates onto the same switch
• Extend copper LAN segments over higher
  performance fiber links
• e.g. Exceed the 100m range limitation of Ethernet
• Enjoy the higher security of fiber

21
Why Use Media Converters?Benefit 3 - Simplicity

• Simplify network cabling and protocol upgrades
• Incremental upgrades rather than full scale
  replacement
• Media conversion provides the perfect demarcation
  point between optical and electrical
• Installer terminates the fiber
• Support engineer configures the switch
• Both installer and support engineer
• only deal with what they understand

22
Core Product Focus FTTx Fiber To The x

• Fastest growing subset of the Media Conversion
  market
• Two types
• Fiber to the neighborhood, curb or building
  (FTTN/FTTC/FTTB)
• Fiber to the premises or home (FTTP/FTTH)

23
FTTx/ISP Market

• Sales into operators/ISPs/FTTx outfits are
  getting stronger
• Current product line is a pretty good fit as to
  what operators want to achieve (FTTB)
• IMC is less expensive than using a fully
  functional switch from a major vendor
• Far Eastern solutions do exist, but have proved
  unpopular
• Risk, support, difficult to work with, pricing is
  not a critical issue
• In most cases, its not the incumbent were
  selling to, but the newer operators

24
FTTx/ISP Market (cont.)

• FTTx/ISP market is priority 1
• Sales Are Driven by
• Launching Applicable Product Lines
• Educating the Distribution Base
• Developing Reseller Program
• Enhancing the IMC Web Site

25
FTTx Market Segments by Operator

• Incumbent local exchange carriers
• Competitive or emerging carriers
• Municipalities, utilities, real estate developers
  and other operators
• CATV operators

26
FTTH Worldwide

• Europe From under 400,000 in 2003, the number
  of Western European homes subscribing to FTTH
  services will grow by 60 a year until at least
  2008
• US Verizon passed 2.5 million homes in 2006 with
  FTTH, and expects that number to reach 3 million
  homes in 2007
• US ATT (SBC) pledged to rapidly expand its
  Project Lightspeed initiative to 18 million homes
  within three years

FTTx in Asia Pacific

• In China, FTTC/N LAN is proving to be a
  cost-effective way to introduce broadband to
  homes.
• Japan has built up high-speed network
  infrastructures extending fiber all the way to
  the home to deliver a wide array of voice, data
  and multimedia applications including
  increasingly popular VoIP service.
• In South Korea, service providers have found that
  online gaming, Video-On-Demand, and e-commerce
  are moneymaking applications that are well suited
  to the increased bandwidth of FTTx.

28
FTTx in Asia Pacific (cont.)

• Five major countries in Asia -- Japan, South
  Korea, China, Hong Kong, and Australia -- are the
  fastest growing regional market for residential
  fiber broadband.
• Asia as a whole, particularly the Australian and
  China markets, has tremendous growth potential
  for service and equipment providers to collect a
  portion of the flourishing FTTX market.

Additional Product Categories

• Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Optical
  Transceivers
• Power Sourcing Midspan Equipment (802.3af
  PoE-compliant)
• CCTV Cable TV Converter

101
Small Form-Factor Pluggable Transceivers (IE-SFPs)

• IE-SFP modules are extended temperature (IE),
  modular transceivers
• Benefits of IE-SFPs
• More and more high-end network equipment is being
  designed with SFP ports to accommodate the SFP
  modules
• Easier upgrades from one fiber type to the other
  (multi-mode to single mode, dual strand to single
  strand)
• Cost effective replace just the SFP, not the
  hardware
• Hot swappable means easier maintenance no need
  to take other customers down

102
Choosing the Right IE-SFP

• IMC Networks offers a wide range of IE-SFP
  modules, for a variety of networking needs
• Different wavelength types
• Multi-mode (MM) versus Single-mode (SM)
• Standard versus Single-strand Bi-Directional
  (BiDi/SSF)
• Course Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM)
• Several protocol independent versions to choose
  from
• 155 Mbps (supports Fast Ethernet)
• 1.25 Gbps (supports Gigabit Ethernet)
• Extended Diagnostics (DDMI) also available
• Temperature
• Supply Voltage
• Laser Bias Current

• TX Power
• RX Power

103
PSE Midspan

• Modular device for providing power and data over
  the same CAT 5 cable
• PSE Power Sourcing Equipment
• 802.3af complaint
• Installs in managed IMC Networks chassis

104
PSE Midspan Application

• Takes the unpowered Cat 5 and Ethernet data in
  and launches it out with power (data unchanged)

105

• After July 1, 2006 the use of these materials was
  banned in new products sold in Europe.
• How are IMC Networks Products Affected?
• Telecommunications equipment such as IMC
  Networks products is exempt until 2010, but
  because of IMC Networks commitment to the
  environment, the company has been compliant since
  July 2006.
• Are All IMC Networks Products Compliant?
• The only exceptions are products for which RoHS
  compliant components are not available.
