Why Buy?
- Affordable single box support for the full spectrum of FC protocol rates: 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 4Gbps, 8Gbps & 10Gbps
- Space-saving 1U chassis minimizes power consumption
- Simple to install, configure & maintain
- Flexible pay-as-you-grow architecture
Datasheet: PL-1000E [PDF]
- Supports up to 4 x sub-10G services in any mix- 1G/2G/4G FC & FICON, ESCON, Fast Ethernet, GbE, STM-1/OC-3, STM-4, OC-12, STM-16/OC-48, OTU1 (OTN), Video.
- Supports up to 4 x 10G/8G FC services in any mix- 10G Eth and optional OTU-2 OTN - via the addition of pluggable optic modules (XFPs).
- Transparent migration from sub-10G to 10G services with zero downtime.
- Supports single and dual fiber connections.
- Operates in point-to-point, linear ADM and ring topologies with 1+1 facility protection.
- Bi-directional 3R and performance monitoring for each service ensuring error free operation over distance.
- Integrated mux/demux, optical amplifier (EDFA) and optical switch for both transponder and regenerator modes.
- Remote management with dual optical supervisory channels and dual in-band management channels.
- All optical transceivers, both on the service side and WDM-uplink side, are pluggable and fully replaceable, allowing pay-as-you-grow budget planning and ease of maintenance.
- Full redundancy: AC/DC power supplies and fan.
- Standards compliant: FCC, CE, RoHS 5/6 and NEBS.
- Ideal applications include:
- High capacity, low latency data center connectivity
- Interconnection of LAN, TDM and SAN over remote metro sites
- High bandwidth managed service over dark fiber
- Simple upgrade of existing CWDM or DWDM networks to support 10G services
- High throughput Metro Ethernet connectivity
- Establishing an effective infrastructure for Triple Play, NGN and DSLAM backhaul
- Efficient central office and local exchange connectivity
- Need to transport only 10G services? You may prefer the PL-1000 DWDM fiber mux instead. Need to transport only sub-10G services? Check out the PL-400 CWDM/DWDM mux.
