Datasheet
EM316GSW-XY
Gigabit/Fast Ethernet Multifunction Converter/Repeater/
Transponder/Multi-Media Switch
Overview
Fiber grooming (media conversion and optimization) incorporates
a wide variety of data transmission functions traditionally
implemented through multiple independent solutions. The MRV
XY multifunction media converters combine media conversion,
distance extension, and fiber optimization into versatile multi-
function modules. The EM316GSW-XY, is an extremely versatile
transponder/converter for the Fiber Driver Optical Multi-Service
Platform.
The EM316GSW-XY combines two Gigabit copper ports and two
modular SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports to serve several traditional
roles with virtually any network media.
-1----Dual Copper-to-Fiber Converter – Fast/Gigabit Ethernet
-2----Self-Healing Converter - redundant trunk and access links
-3----Fiber and Copper Repeaters – multi-mode or single-mode
fiber support
-4----Mixed-Media Switch - media conversion with collision isolation

Highlights
Hundreds of functions in one module including:
1.-Dual 10/100/1000Base-T, Ethernet copper-to-
fiber (100Base-FX or 1000Base-X) converter
2.-Self-healing 10/100/1000Base-T, Ethernet copper-
to-fiber (100Base-FX or 1000Base-X) converter
3.-Dual repeater - fiber-to-fiber (100Base-
FX or 1000Base-X) and copper-to-copper
(10/100/1000Base-T)
4.-Mixed-media Ethernet switch – two copper
(10/100/1000Base-T) and two fiber (100Base-FX or
1000Base-X) interfaces
Copper 10/100/1000Base-T ports with auto-
negotiation and automatic MDI/MDIX sensing
Speed-matching conversion between all ports
Manual configuration for speed, duplex, auto-
negotiation, MDI/MDIX, and loopback
Jumbo packet support (9600B)
Link fault pass-through (most modes)
- Link Integrity Notification (LIN) – MRV protocol
“Layer 1” ring redundancy for fault tolerance based
on MRV Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching
(MAPS)
