ADVA Optical Networking announced a major new release of its Fiber Service Platform (FSP) 2000 system with enhanced Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) functionality. ADVA's new 8-channel CWDM card with a next-generation universal transponder design and Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers replaces the need for separate cards for specific groups of protocols, data speeds, and fixed interfaces. New CWDM ring functionality expands network topology options from simple
point-to-point configurations to include linear add/drop and ring topologies.
The new 8-channel CWDM card includes a universal transponder design that transports all typical enterprise protocols for speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps at all CWDM wavelengths between 1470nm and 1610nm. SFP transceivers on the card adapt to single mode and multimode 850nm and 1310nm requirements and various protection schemes can be optionally included.
The parallel use of CWDM/DWDM and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technologies enable up to 512 applications to be transported over one single fiber pair up to 200 kilometers. Additional features include
per channel TDM with channel bit rates ranging 8 Mbps up to 10 Gbps.
