Alcatel-Lucent 1643 AMS Access Multiplexer Small

Fiber and copper
access options
When fiber access is available,
the 1643 AMS is installed directly
as CPE. If the last mile to the
customer premise must be bridged
through copper, the 1643 AMS
provides a symmetric high-speed
digital subscriber line (SHDSL)
option. As a result, E1 over copper
or 10/100BASE-T Ethernet access
through up to four combined SHDSL
copper lines can be served.
The base 1643 AMS configuration
consists of a main board with 16 E1
ports, cages for two Small Form Fac-
tor Pluggables (SFPs) and one option-
board slot. The hot-pluggable SFPs
used in terminal-multiplexer or add/
drop multiplexer (ADM) applications,
are offered in three different types:
• STM-1 optical line interface:
S-1.1, L-1.1, L-1.2 (SFP)
• STM-1 electrical interface
• STM-1 bidirectional
In addition, there is an option board
available to support one of the follow-
ing interface types: E1, DS1, E3, DS3,
SHDSL and 10/100/1000BASE-T and
1000BASE-X Ethernet.
