380.0. "SMF-MMF converter" by VAXRIO::ROLF (Vaporware Design Specialist) Wed Oct 30 1991 05:50

    I have seen undetailed mention in this notefile of a vendor product which 
    converts from SMF to MMF and vice versa. There is a situation here where 
    we probably could win if we offer that solution. Customer needs to connect
    two VAXen via 11 Km of fiber, just a bit too much for our LB200 and not
    cost justifiable for a pair of FDDI bridges.
    
    Could someone maybe give me details of that "box" with source and
    aprox. price?
    
    Thanks in advance!

380.1Two that I know ofSYORPD::DEEPBob Deep @SYO, DTN 256-5708Wed Oct 30 1991 11:4418
Rolf,

   There are a couple of companies that manufacture SMF-MMF devices. 

   One is Optical Data Systems (ODS) in Richardson, Texas.   Another is 
Fibermux.

   I don't have any specific details, but I'm sure the companies would
be happy to send you information.   

   I have a number for ODS of (214) 234-6400.
   
   Be aware that there are interoperability issues with using some of these 
devices, and that it may add an order of magnitude to the diagnostic 
complexity of your solution.

                        Good luck!
                                             Bob
