DT4032E
Universal Digital Transceiver
for NC4000 Fiber Node Platforms
(5-65 MHz pass band) |
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.
