Product Overview

Valiant’s STM-1 63 E1 (Optical / Electrical) Add-Drop SDH Multiplexer unit is a modular platform unit with two 155.52Mbps optical / electrical interfaces, which may be used in a point-to-point, chain or ring application to provide an ultra-compact, cost effective and flexible service platform.

63xE1 interfaces (120 Ohms [RJ-45] and 75 Ohms [BNC]) options along with Engineering Order Wire is available. The user removable / replaceable STM-1 Optical / Electrical interface option makes it easy to meet various and changing user requirements. Valiant’s STM-1(SDH) Transmission Equipment provides full capability to cross-connect at E1 level between all tributaries.

The equipment can be used as Terminal Multiplexer (TM) or an Add-Drop-Multiplexer (ADM) to build a point-to-point, ring and chain (add-drop) transmission network.
