OS3200
Series Optical Switches |
The Aurora OS3200 series of compact optical switch modules for the
CH3000 platform offer fast switching times, low insertion loss and high packaging
density.
These units are available as 2x1 switches in either a single or dual
switch packaging configuration or as a single 2x2 switch configuration in a
single-width, half-depth module. Designed to support telephony traffic over alternate
routing architectures, OS3200 series switches are guaranteed to have a switching time
of less than 10 milliseconds and only switch to the secondary fiber route when the
primary route optical input is below threshold setting and optical power on the
alternate route is above threshold setting. Appropriate switching hysteresis levels
are established at the low end in each of two ranges to reduce ''chattering'' in
switch behavior; threshold settings for each range can be independently set by the
operator.
Additionally, the switches have been designed with a wide dynamic
threshold adjustment range to support any combination of both analog and digital
transmission applications. The modules are self-sensing of fiber restoration for
maximum network reliability and efficiency, and are fully controllable both locally
and remotely. In the dual switch configuration of model OS32S1D, each of the switches
can be configured independently.
The features of the OS3200 series of optical switches make them ideally
suited to applications where high reliability is required and space and power
consumption are important considerations.
