PhyFlex Networks has launched the miniX, an outdoor fiber-to-coax media converter that facilitates the delivery of carrier Ethernet services in low penetration situations.
Deployable in fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) architectures, the miniX was designed to be fiber fed from a PhyFlex FTTxSWITCH. The product converts Ethernet over fiber to carrier Ethernet over coax, which is delivered via a standard coaxial cable drop to the end user.
The miniX’s modem is optimized to run over cable drop connections and operates in frequencies above 1 GHz.
