Fiber Driver Redundant Link Modules

Fiber Driver Redundant Link Modules

The Fiber Driver® Optical Self-Healing Switch from MRV (EM316OSSH) makes creating a redundant optical link easier and more affordable than ever before. Designed to provide full path protection for mission critical networks, the module is capable of automatically switching between a primary and secondary (backup) link almost instantaneously when the active link fails.

As an all optical transparent device, the EM316OSSH remains protocol independent. It supports all wavelengths from 1260 nm to 1620 nm (including the 1310 nm and 1550 nm bands), making it suitable for virtually any application including WDM path protection. The module can provide 1+1 hot stand-by protection in resilient point-to-point or Optical Unidirectional Path Switched Ring (O-UPSR) deployments. Insertion loss is a maximum of 5 dB per pair of EM316OSSH modules.

Features

  • 1+1 hot stand-by path protection (Sergiu should decide if we want to differientiate the following (as well as the above OUPSR comment):
    • Point-to-point optical trunk link and redundant link
    • Ring at the transponder level (does this mean “level 2 Data Link Layer”? I’m not sure this phrase is technically clear.)
  • Transparent network operation (Protocol independence)
  • Link switchover times of 10 ms or less
  • 1260 nm through 1620 nm wavelength range
  • Maximum insertion loss of 5 dB per link
