I need to extend 3 isdn pri 23 channels over to a remote building. I already have fiber in place. What kind of devices or method should I use to extend these circuits over to this site? -2000ft
Rad data makes a 1 and 3 port device that provides a t1 over fiber. I believe they refer to them as fiber optic modem (FOM). Make sure you match you fiber type, mutli or single mode, they support both.
I'd grab a fibermux. (Fiber Multiplexer) With a mux, you can add more than the T1's to the equipment. Data, alarms, even video can share the same fibers, as long as you have the connection devices on each end.
ADC made a few I've used. (Specifically the magnum.)
If you want high availability/reliability you should definitely use a fiber mux. Lucent and Fujitsu (and probably others) offer what they call "carrier class" muxes. Here's a link to a Fuji sonet mux that can be configured for terminal (point to point) configuration: <
Adtran also makes carrier class equipment. I have configured and installed two MX2800's before to extend about 14 T1's from a demarc to the building located about .75 miles away over multi mode fiber. Here is the link to the MX 2800:
