Abstract
Devices are provided including an SFP interface and a further interface for wire-based data transmission. A conversion circuit converts between SFP interface signals and wire-based interface signals. The interfaces and the conversion circuit may be, but need not be, provided on a same circuit board.
Claims18
A device, comprising:
- an SFP interface, and
- a wire-based interface for wire-based data transmission, the wire-based interface comprising:
- an Ethernet interface;
- and
- a digital subscriber line (DSL) interface;
- wherein the Ethernet interface is allocated to a data link layer and the DSL interface is allocated to a physical layer;
- and
- a conversion circuit for converting signals between an SFP interface and the wire-based interface.
5 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a printed circuit board having a relatively smaller width portion and a relatively larger width portion,
- an SFP interface arranged on the circuit board at the relatively smaller width portion, and
- a wire-based interface arranged on the circuit board at the relatively lager width portion for wire-based data transmission, the wire-based interface comprising:
- an Ethernet interface;
- and
- a digital subscriber line (DSL) interface;
- wherein the Ethernet interface is allocated to a data link layer and the DSL interface is allocated to a physical layer;
- and
- a conversion circuit for converting signals arranged on the circuit board between an SFP interface and the wire-based interface.
