Overview

$8,500 (USD)


The Optical Amplifier Protection Switch is the first of its kind in the telecommunication industry. Using the latest in optical switching technology, the Optical Amplifier Protection Switch provides 1:N protection for optical amplifiers.

The protection switch is designed to work with existing optical amplifiers, in either the 1310 or 1550 windows and is protocol independent. It also offers the capability of producing a maintenance window for the protected amplifiers.

The Optical Amplifier Protection Switch is 1-RMU (1.75") in height, is able to mount in either a 19" or 23" telecommunication rack and requires 48 vdc power (A & B Feed).
 
Features
  • Provides 1:2 switching for optical amplifiers
  • Switches amplifiers in less than 50 milliseconds
  • Works with existing optical amplifiers in either the 1310 or 1550 bandwidths
  • Fully transparent at all data rates and protocols
  • Protocol independent
  • Requires 1 RMU shelf spacing
  • Mounts in 19" or 23" rack

Applications
  • Folded SONET/SDH rings
  • Non Cable Diverse Linear SONET/SDH System
 
Housing
  • 1- RMU Shelf Unit
