Aurora Networks’ DT4032E Digital Transceiver is a component of Aurora's Integrated Digital Transport System that combines two major functions into one compact package: digitization of legacy 5–65 MHz RF return path signals and an Ethernet Access Device. The DT4032E transceiver digitizes the legacy RF return path and multiplexes native Ethernet traffic from the optical receiver port of a plug-in (SFP) transceiver module into the return transport system. By providing virtual pipes for Fast Ethernet services and legacy RF return on a single fiber, the DT4032E Digital Transceiver alleviates fiber exhaustion, greatly simplifies the network and provides distinct time-to-market advantages in turning up new revenue bearing services, including voice, video and data services.

The DT4032E transceiver supports both point-to-point and concatenated applications. For concatenated applications, multiple DT4032Es can be designed into a daisy-chained configuration. The module's optical transmit/receive ports are implemented with optional plug-in transceivers for ultimate flexibility and affordability. Conforming to the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Multisource Agreement, these state-of-the-art transceivers are available in a variety of transmit/receive wavelengths, including dedicated 1310nm (for 10 and 40 km links), 1550nm (for links up to 40 km), and CWDM ITU grid (for links up to 40 km), all operating at data rates of 2.125 Gbps. Longer spans are supported by using Aurora’s DX4515 Digital Transponder.

The DT4032E is designed as a plug-in module for Aurora Networks’ NC4000 series Optical Nodes. Aurora Networks supplies DT4032E transceivers either with the NC4000 as a fully configured and tested node or as modules for existing customers of the NC4000 desiring to implement digital return and/or upgrade to Ethernet transport capability.
