2x10G OTN Muxponder/ADM

PacketLight’s PL-2000 20G OTN ADM muxponder provides an efficient and flexible aggregation layer and cross-connect of multi-protocol/multi-rate services up to 10G into dual 10G uplink trunks.

The 10G OTU2 uplink can simultaneously aggregate SDH/SONET, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and native video services, providing a perfect access platform for multiple clients’ needs and allows the merger of legacy and new services transparently and efficiently.

Dual 10G OTN muxponder with cross conect
Provides aggregation of multi-service, multi-rate services up to 10G into dual 10G OTU2 uplinks, supporting LR and tunable DWDM uplink modules.

Flexible Design

The PL-2000 supports ODU1 OTN cross-connect and can be used in ring and point-to-point applications, and facility protection per each service. The device forms a common transport layer for all client protocols up to 10G regardless of the service type with high spectral efficiency. Each of the client ports supports a wide range of rates and protocols. Each client port can be mapped to any of the two uplink ports.

PL-2000 Datasheet

Powerful Feature Set

In a point-to-point network, the PL-2000 aggregates up to 16 multi-rate/multi-protocol services into a single 10G OTU2 uplink with a second 10G OTU2 uplink providing full uplink and fiber protection.
In a ring application, the device aggregates up to 16 multi-rate/multi-protocol services into two dual 10G OTU2, while bypassing the pass-through services between the two uplinks.
The device supports several FEC modes suitable for extremely long haul amplified DWDM networks, eliminating the need for costly regenerator sites for up to 10G clients.
