COMMUNICATIONS MODULES & SUBSYSTEMS

Key Features

• 1+1 protection for network optics, controlled by loss of

signal (LOS) level, loss of lock, or user configurable

power thresholds

• Client-side SFP modules support either single-mode

fiber (SMF) or multimode fiber (MMF)

• Multiple protocols supported at discrete bit rates of

125 Mb/s to 3.125 Gb/s

• Automatic bit-rate detection and reporting

• Remote management via SNMP traps or TL1

• Network optics support 16 ITU wavelengths over

distances up to 100 km without dispersion

compensation or amplification

• Facility loopback on both network and client sides

• 3R functionality at all supported bit rates and protocols

The WaveReady Transponder 760 (WRT-760) is a multi-rate, multi-protocol,

auto-lock transponder module that translates optical signals between a variety of

client-side interfaces into a long-reach, single-mode, dense wavelength division

multiplexing (DWDM) interface. This module includes path protection, small

form factor pluggable (SFP) modules on the client side, loopback, and 3R

(reshape, retime and re-amplify/regenerate) functionality.

Built-in path protection eliminates the need for extra transponders and protection

devices on protected links, a significant saving in capital expenditure.

SFP modules optimized for a wide range of protocols are available for single-

mode and multimode fiber. Supported protocols include 100Base-FX Ethernet,

Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), ESCON, Fibre channel, FICON, and OC-3 to OC-48.

Supported data rates range from 125 Mb/s to 3.125 Gb/s. The WRT-760's bit-rate

and protocol independence gives service providers the flexibility to meet the

shifting service demands of customers without changing installed equipment.

Full 3R functionality allows multiple WRT-760 modules to be deployed in series for

very long reach applications. Loopback facilitates fault isolation and troubleshooting.
