Chapter 1 Describing the optical routing system
212257-B
Parts of the optical routing system
The optical routing system includes the following parts:
•
Gigabit interface converters (CWDM GBICs)
•
Optical add/drop multiplexers (CWDM OADMs)
•
Optical multiplexer/demultiplexers (CWDM OMUXs)
•
Optical shelf to house the multiplexers
Table 1
shows the parts of the optical routing system, and the color matching used
to distinguish the eight wavelengths.
Gigabit interface converter description
Nortel Networks* coarse wavelength division multiplexed Gigabit Interface
Converters (
Figure 2
) convert signals in a switch to laser light for connection to a
fiber optic network. A CWDM GBIC transmits and receives optical signals at one
of eight specific wavelengths.
Nortel CWDM GBICs use Avalanche Photodiode (APD) technology to improve
transmission distance and optical link budget.
