MCK Nortel Norstar Modular EXTender New (500-2170-000N)

Alternative extension methods attempt to stretch the distance to each individual digital station set. This distance, the “TCM station loop”, runs out of gas between 1000 and 2600 feet (304-792 meters). Building to building TCM extension requires costly specialized devices for loop protection. This means the old way of extending service to more than a few sets quickly became cost prohibitive, and left users with a few if any of the optional Norstar features. Module EXTender eliminates these limitations. Module EXTender is a pair of small surface or wall mount units that receive the standard Nortel DS-30 signals over copper or short fiber, and retransmit them with enough strength to drive multi-mode long fiber over three kilometers. Now a remote Station Module can extend all your Norstar’s features, applications and peripherals almost 1.9 miles from the KSU. Whether on the seventh or seventieth floor, every workgroup will have access to the same voicemail, ACD, or other functions as those on the main floor.

• Extends reach of Norstar Station Modules over 1.9 miles
• Allows expansion of older 8x24 modular Norstars
• Allows sharing of system features and peripherals
• Increases reliability and helpfs control wiring costs
• Provides access to all Norstar-supported features over multi-mode fiber connections
• The Module EXTender remote unit supports up to 16 users connected to a Norstar fiber trunk or fiber station module
• The Module EXTender local unit connects to the Norstar KTS at the central location and the remote unit remotely connects to up to 10 Norstar trunk or station modules

Module Extender is compatible with all Modular 8 X 24 Norstar and Norstar-Plus Modular ICS KSU’s and associated peripherals and applications. Product is supplied with one (1) 2.1 meter short fiber cable for connecting the local unit to the KSU. Customer supplies multi-mode long fiber (SIECOR #2K81-31141-24 or equivalent) to connect local and remote units. Local and remote units may be separated up to 3 km (almost 1.9 miles). Depending on configuration, up to 10 remote Norstar Trunk or Station Modules may be connected with Module Extender.
