Installation and Networking Guidelines for Optical Routing
Preface
Nortel Networks* optical routing system supports high-speed data
communications in metropolitan area networks (MANs) by:
•
Connecting Gigabit Ethernet ports with fiber optic networks.
•
Combining multiple wavelengths on a single fiber to expand available
bandwidth.
The system components include:
This book contains the following topics:
•
“Describing the optical routing system” on page 17
•
“Calculating transmission distance” on page 27
•
“Installing the shelf, OADM, and OMUX” on page 35
•
“CWDM OADM specifications” on page 45
•
“CWDM OMUX specifications” on page 47
•
“Handling and cleaning fiber optic equipment” on page 49
Component
Function
CWDM Gigabit interface
converters (GBICs)
Convert signals in a switch to laser light for connection to a
fiber optic network.
Passive optical
multiplexing devices
Combine laser light signals received from GBICs onto a
single fiber for transport to the destination. Separates the
wavelengths at the destination and routes them onto
different fibers which terminate on separate GBICs.
Passive optical shelf
Houses the multiplexers.
