OS32Mxx / OS32Sxx
Series Master / Slave Optical Switches |
The Aurora OS32Mxx/OS32Sxx series of Master/Slave Optical Switches for
the CH3000 platform offer fast switching times, low insertion loss and high packaging
density, and all operate in dual-wavelength windows (ranges of 1280-1340nm and
1420-1620nm). Designed primarily to support telephony traffic over alternate routing
architectures, OS32Mxx/OS32Sxx Master/Slave Optical 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.
Two models are available as 2x1 switches in either a single or dual switch
packaging configuration (models OS32M1M-00-AS and OS32M2M-00-AS, respectively). A second
group of three models is comprised of a suite of ''Master/Slave'' modules. The model
OS32M2S-00-AS includes one 2x1 switch that functions as the ''Master'' switch in the
suite, operating as a primary optical power sensing optical switch; it also includes a
second 2x1 ''Slave'' switch in the same module that switches to the same path as the
primary. This module can also control an optional adjacent auxiliary (slave) switch
module: either a single 2x1 slave switch (model OS32A1A-00-AS) or a set of three 2x1
slave switches in the same unit (model OS32S3A-00-AS). Optical paths in the slave
module(s) are automatically set to the same switch position as the master switch.
All OS32Mxx/OS32Sxx series switches have a wide dynamic threshold adjustment
range to support any combination of both analog and digital transmission applications. A
threshold may be established for each switch over an extremely wide dynamic range
(-22 to +22 dBm, adjustable in 1dB steps). These switches 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 model OS32M2M-00-AS, each
switch can be configured independently.) All modules use SC/APC connectors and are
single-width, half-depth modules designed for installation in a CH3000 Chassis or PF3000
Passives Frame. 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.
