Device Details 

SFP Ports 

FESTIVAL BOX is equipped with six (Petit) or twelve (Grand) SFP ports that can be populated with different SFP 
modules that run up to 2Gbit of data.  

Data from external SFP port is converted to the internal CWDM SFP fiber transceivers..  

The internal SFP transceivers connect to the internal CWDM passive multiplexing module, which allows multiple 
protocols to be combined into a single fiber. 

All  internal  SFP  fibre  transceivers  are  populated  at  the  time  of  manufacturing.  Internal  SFP  should  not  be 
accessed or changed by user. 

 

Aux Ports 

External  AUX  ports  connect  directly  to  the  multiplexer  module.  Those  ports  can  be  used  to  an  external  device 
such as an Ethernet switch populated with 1310nm fiber transceivers. 

 

Main Ports 

FESTIVAL BOX is populated with passive CWDM multiplexing module(s) which combines all ports to the MAIN 
connection. MAIN ports are dedicated to be used with multimode cabling. 

 

Power Supply 

The  device  is  equipped  with  two  power  supplies  and  inputs.  If  the  primary  power  supply  were  to  fail,  due  to 
disruption of the power source or in the case of a power supply malfunction, the device will automatically switch 
over  to  the  redundant  power  supply.  In  order  to  make  the  power  supply  to  the  device  redundant,  both  power 
inputs  must  be  connected  to  the  mains  supply,  if  possible  to  different  phases,  circuits,  or  by  having  one  of  the 
power supplies connected to an uninterrupted power supply (UPS). 

The power supplies operate with mains voltage of 100 ... 240 V and frequency of 50 

 60 Hz. The device can be 

used throughout the world without any modifications or transformers. 

 

 
Control 

The FESTIVAL BOX is a plug-and-play device that does not require any user control or configuration.  

 

Please note:

 

The switched-mode power supplies operate at very high voltages.  

Coming into contact with the power supplies can lead to considerable electric shock, 
which may result in death. 

To prevent electric shock, do not remove any covers of the device.
