E1 or T1 Converters

RAD's RIC-E1 serial interface converter and RIC-T1 serial interface converter offer conversion between E1 or T1 interfaces and standard data communications interfaces, including V.35, X.21, V.36, and RS-530, as well as Fast Ethernet, Ethernet bridge or an IP router. The modular design allows for simple interchanging of the interfaces.

• Provides standard conversion interfaces

• High speed seamless conversion between systems

• Loop testing ensures accurate transmission

• Chassis and standalone options for greater flexibility

The RIC-E1 and RIC-T1 offer conversion between E1 or T1 interfaces and standard data communications interfaces. The units convert the ITU-T G.703 E1 2.048 Mbps and T1 1.544 Mbps interfaces to V.35, X.21, V.36, RS-530, Fast Ethernet, or Ethernet bridge.

When equipped with an Ethernet interface, RIC-E1 and RIC-T1 transparently connect remote LANs and VLANs over unframed E1/T1 links utilizing the full E1/T1 bandwidth. All of the above mentioned interfaces are easily interchangeable thanks to the modular design.

Operating full duplex at a rate of 2.048 Mbps or 1.544 Mbps, respectively, the RIC-E1 and RIC-T1 have a range of 300 meters (1,000 ft) from the G.703 equipment. They perform a diagnostic loop test in compliance with ITU V.54 standard (loop 3) local analog loop (LLB). The bridge loops are activated by the DTE interface or by a strap jumper on the PCB.

The RIC-E1 and RIC-T1 support receive, external and internal clocking options from G.703 equipment.

The products are available as standalone units in lightweight enclosures, or as cards for the ASM-MN-214 rack. The ASM-MN-214 can hold up to 14 hot-swappable converter cards, allowing mixing and matching any combination of card types.
