Download Datasheet

The SONAbeam™ 155-E is a compact, lightweight unit that is optimized for short-distance links from 50 meters (160 ft) up to 3300 meters (2.1 miles). It includes two redundant high-powered lasers transmitting at 1550nm.

The SONAbeam™ 155-E supports E3, DS3, OC-1/STM-O , 10/100 Ethernet or datarate transparent transmission and offer the added reliability of clock data-rate recovery (CDR). Additionally, the SONAbeam™ 155-E can be managed over Ethernet and is IP addressable.
