All the fiber optic interface options offer high performance and have a wide
dynamic range, which ensures that the receiver does not saturate even when using
short fiber optic cables (saturation is caused when the optical power applied to the
receiver exceeds its maximum allowed input power, and results in very high bit
error rates).
Fiber Optic Link Redundancy Option
MT1000A can be ordered with one or two link interface options. Each interface
operates independently, and can be ordered from any of the link options listed
above.
In the fiber optic link redundancy option, MT1000A supports fully automatic
switching between link A and link B. Link A has priority. Therefore, normally link A
is selected for use, and link B is disabled. In case a failure occurs on link A,
MT1000A automatically switches to link B and continues providing normal service.
After link A returns to normal operation, it is automatically reselected.
Each link interface has its own set of indicators that show the current state of the
link. AIS alarm will not appear for the non-active optical link.
Tributary Interface Characteristics
The MT1000A tributary interfaces meet the requirements of ITU-T Rec. G.703.
Each tributary port has a 100
Ω balanced line interface terminated in an RJ-45
eight-pin connector.
