OS42S1S
Optical Switch
for NC4000 Fiber Node Platforms |
The Aurora OS42S1S is a robust, non-latching 2x1 optical switch that
allows rapid and economic deployment of optical switching anywhere in the network
without the expense of a facility or OTN cabinet. It allows signals to be fed over
diverse routes, providing a highly reliable network infrastructure, and offers fast
switching times and low insertion loss. The OS42S1S is designed as a plug-in module
for Aurora's NC4000 series Fiber Node Platforms, including the
VH4000 Virtual Hub (as shown in the photo below).
The OS42S1S switch has a guaranteed switching time of less than 10
milliseconds (and typically less than 5 milliseconds) and will only switch to the
secondary fiber route when the primary route optical input power is below the
threshold level and optical power on the alternate route is above the threshold
level. The switch can operate either with factory-set default threshold levels or
with user-settable thresholds for each input (or can be forced to operate with the
input from either its A or B input). The wide dynamic threshold adjustment range
supports any combination of both analog and digital transmission applications
including telephony traffic.
The OS42S1S is capable of operating over a temperature range from -40°
to +85°C and can be fully monitored and remotely controlled.
