Sycamore Enhances its Optical Switch

Sycamore Networks introduced a new modular service interface card that enable a variety of interface types, port speeds, and transport options for its SN 16000 intelligent optical switch. The new Universal Service Card supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet or SONET/SDH service interface groups, and flexible port speeds, optical reach, and wavelengths. The architecture can support up to four separate Line Interface Modules (LIMs) per line card with a broad range of service reach options via pluggable optics: Short Reach (SR), Intermediate Reach (IR), Long Reach (LR), and DWDM optics. http://www.sycamorenet.com
