Figure 6 ClearCube MVX Back View
The Fiber Optic Extension System adds fiber optic connectivity to the ClearCube
architecture via a pair of multi-mode fiber optic cables.
The system is compatible with ClearCube R4300 chassis, BackPacks, and blades. It
securely extends user desktops from centralized PC blades to a distance as great as
500 meters over a pair of 62.5 micron multi-mode fibers. The system consists of two
components, the Fiber Transceiver and the Fiber C/Port.
Fiber Transceiver
The Fiber Transceiver, shown in Figure 7, is a 1U high, rack-mounted device
designed to work specifically with the ClearCube architecture.

The Transceiver works by converting the copper-based C/Port signals to fiber optic
signals. A single 16-port Transceiver supports two standard R4300 or R4200 chassis,
