Typical Characteristics of Fiber Optic Modems Here are some peculiar features of these modems found in most models. • They are microprocessor-based and ANSI certified is highly recommended. • These modems have multiple features such as fiber path protection, menu-based control and interface, end-to-end monitoring and controls that allow device sharing, smart manager, user-friendly GUI, and more. • Can be used as a standalone device or rack mounted on an integrated network. • They have automatic troubleshooting features, such as remote loopback, as well as local capabilities. • You can use NDT or non-intrusive testing techniques like BERT to verify the communication link of these modems. • They support multiple lines of encryption products. • They have save clock modes, both internal and external. • As a known fact, fiber optic modems are highly reliable and offer high speed and constant connectivity over several miles of geographic distances. • Can pass bipolar violations and offer full modem redundancy. • They help reduce latency on legacy networks and offer high bandwidth even for VoIP calls, video conferencing, archiving large files, and more. • These modems, along with other suitable network devices, provide your business network with sufficient scalability, leaving room for future expansion, configuration changes, and application flexibility.
