Optical Output Power of the System (Under
Operating Conditions)
Up to 64/80 channel modules feed into one fiber via passive optical filter mod-
ules (depending on the configuration). Each channel module feeds up to 5 mW
into the passive optical modules. The passive optical modules add a defined
attenuation to the transmission line, which reduces the optical output power
transmitted to the network fiber cable. The maximum output power of all possi-
ble system configurations depends on the current product release. For details
contact ADVA Optical Networking. An automatic power reduction mechanism
was implemented to make sure that the FSP 3000R7 will never exceed hazard
level 1M.
Automatic Laser Shutdown
To meet laser safety requirements, all channel modules are equipped with an
Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS) system. This system is designed to switch off
the network transmitter if the transmission line is broken, damaged, or
unplugged.
Optical Port Connection Conditions
Two conditions are defined: used ports and unused ports.
Used Ports
The optical ports in use must be connected to a fiber-optic cable to fulfill the
specified purpose of the respective FSP 3000R7 optical module. The other end
of this fiber-optic cable must be connected to the designated opposite port.
Unused Ports
The optical ports not currently in use must be closed by a blind plug, which is
delivered with the FSP 3000R7. The dust cover should be left in the optical con-
nectors of the pluggable transceiver when not in use. The blind plugs and the
dust covers are designed to withstand the specified optical output power.
